Small and “Democratic”?
The Official Propaganda Institution
Chapter 1 introduces the institutional history of the regime's official propaganda. It suggests that the regime's propaganda can be divided into three phases: (1) an initial period (1964–1968) without a formal propaganda machine; (2) an intermediary phase (1968–1979) during which official propaganda became institutionalised and was controlled by a dedicated personnel; and (3) a final stage (1979–1980), which saw the much larger scale installation of an official propaganda organ (SECOM) led by new personnel and following an updated strategy. The key institutional characteristics of the AERP (Assessoria Especial de Relações Públicas, 1968–1974) and ARP (Assessoria de Relações Públicas, 1976–1979) were their deliberately small and seemingly “democratic” structure and production mechanisms.
