Ministry of Information (UK)

The Ministry of Information was a UK government department active during World War II, established to manage propaganda and public communication. Its goal was to shape public opinion, boost morale, and provide official information about the war efforts. The ministry coordinated news dissemination, censorship, and propaganda campaigns to ensure consistent messaging. It also helped prepare the media, including newspapers, radio, and films, to support the national war effort. Essentially, it served as the central agency to control information flow, maintain public support, and counter enemy propaganda during a time of national crisis.
