It was persuasive communication to mobilize the public.

For "Committee for Public Info. (CPI)": Established in 1917, led by George Creel. The CPI created propaganda (posters, pamphlets, speeches) to unify public support for WWI, explain war goals, and counter opposition. It used techniques like "four - minute men" (speakers) and visual/media campaigns to rally Americans behind the war.
