Napoleonic Propaganda by Robert Holtman
"The author considers Napoleon the first modern propagandist, pointing out that he was the 'first sovereign to talk to his subjects directly and frequently, partly through mediums such as the bulletins and orders of the day, which he was the first to exploit, and in his utilization of the machinery of government, [by which] he took a pioneering step toward the systematic official propaganda activity of the type we know today."
