EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures George Creel, a prominent American journalist, writer, and politician, in his role as Chairman of the Committee on Public Information (CPI), also known as the Creel Committee, during World War I. Established in 1917 under the Wilson administration, the CPI was an independent agency tasked with influencing public opinion to support the US home front in the first world war. George Creel, a charismatic and persuasive figure, was an ideal choice to lead this effort. He was an experienced journalist, having worked for various newspapers and magazines, and was known for his ability to craft compelling narratives. As Chairman, he oversaw a vast propaganda campaign that utilized posters, films, speeches, and other media to mobilize public support for the war effort. The photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, likely captures Creel in his office or at a public event during his tenure with the CPI. Dressed in a suit and tie, he exudes confidence and authority, reflecting the gravity of the role he played in shaping public opinion during a critical time in American history. The photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable resource for researchers and historians studying the first world war and American history. The photograph is a testament to the power of propaganda and the role it plays in shaping public opinion during times of war and political upheaval. It also serves as a reminder of the important contributions made by individuals like George Creel in shaping the narrative around significant historical events.
