What is a Public Service Announcement? If you don't know what it is, Google it. In your own words, now tell me what it is? What are they used for? Can you recall an example of a PSA you've seen before?


A public service announcement is a message that people want to get out into the community, either by promoting donations, selling things, hanging up posters, or making it a craze on social media. For instance, the ALS ice bucket challenge has been popular for the past few weeks. You can't go anywhere on your phone without seeing something about it. They are used to help spread the word, in a way that will interest the type of audience they're going for. The Ice Bucket Challenge has mostly attracted to kids, but is now spread more to adults because they are getting nominated.  ALS has done amazing work in spreading their thoughts, and they have raised 80 Million dollars.
