Norman Lear Center, Hollywood Health and Society Propaganda
The Hollywood Health & Society program, part of the USC Annenberg Norman Lear Center, serves as a resource for television writers to integrate specific social and health narratives into popular media. Using examples from shows like "Madam Secretary," the hosts argue that this operation functions as a propaganda machine to shape public opinion on topics ranging from nuclear disarmament to reproductive health. The center provides free consultations to ensure "accurate" information aligns with specific political spectrums.
