Copaganda (a portmanteau of cop and propaganda) is propaganda efforts to shape public opinion about police or counter criticism of police and anti-police sentiment.[1][2]
The term is mostly used in the United States, though also in other countries such as the United Kingdom, the Philippines, and Canada to criticize news media creating one-sided depictions of police, uncritically repeating police narratives, or minimizing police misconduct.[citation needed] It has also been applied to human interest stories and viral videos of cops performing wholesome activities in their communities.[citation needed]
Fictional depictions of police, especially in police procedurals and legal dramas, have been criticized for portraying police as infallible heroes and reinforcing misconceptions about crime rates, minority groups, and police misconduct.[3][4]
