The epistemic merit model is a method for understanding propaganda conceived by Sheryl Tuttle Ross and detailed in her 2002 article for the ''Journal of Aesthetic Education'' entitled "Understanding Propaganda: The Epistemic Merit Model and Its Application to Art". Ross developed the Epistemic merit model due to concern about narrow, misleading definitions of propaganda. She contrasted her model with the ideas of Pope Gregory XV, the Institute for Propaganda Analysis, Alfred Lee, F.C. Bartlett, and Hans Speier. Insisting that each of their respective discussions of propaganda are too narrow, Ross proposed her own definition. ==What is Propaganda?== To appropriately discuss propaganda, Ross claims that one must consider a threefold communication model: that of Sender-Message-Receiver. "That is... propaganda involve()... the one who is persuading (Sender) (is ) doing so intentionally, () target for such persuasion (Receiver) and () means of reaching that target (Message)." According to Ross, there are four conditions for a message to be considered propaganda. *1. Propaganda involves the intention to persuade. *2. Propaganda is sent on behalf of a sociopolitical institution organization or cause. *3. The recipient of propaganda is a socially significant group of people. *4. Propaganda is epistemically defective. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Epistemic Merit Model」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
