Good for showing how propaganda works.

The Republia Times is a perfect introductory activity for a journalism class or any lesson involving propaganda. This is a free game found on the web, so there is very little set-up. The controls and directions are very easy to pick up. Students see newspaper headlines appear in a ticker, and have to decide where to place them on the page and what size to make the article. However, the government has given you orders to only print articles that put it in a positive light. This becomes harder and harder as the days go on and the news becomes more grim. Later in the game you are also given a twist--a resistance movement requests your help to get their word out. But will you sacrifice your family for the greater good?
