Morphology
online + propaganda + campaign
All three constituents contribute directly to the overall meaning: 'online' specifies the internet medium, 'propaganda' denotes information spread to influence, and 'campaign' signals a planned coordinated effort. A B1 learner who knows these words can readily infer this refers to a coordinated effort to spread propaganda via the internet, so the expression is compositionally transparent.
Etymology
Online propaganda campaign comes from the idea of a campaign, many people working together, using propaganda, messages meant to persuade, but done online, on the internet. So the image of many repeated messages pushed across the web helps explain why it means 'a coordinated effort to influence public opinion or behavior'.
