There is no gainsaying the fact that propaganda
techniques are useful raw materials in editorial
writing. Okoro and Agbo (2003) agree that
effective editorial writing required a thorough
knowledge and mastery of the techniques of
propaganda.
The propaganda techniques according to them
would enable the editorial writer to “gain
superior edge over competition and win
support in the process of crusading for a cause
or executing a campaign.”
