Term Description

Public Service Announcement (PSA)

A non-commercial advertisement typically broadcast on radio or television for the public good. The main concept is to modify public attitudes by raising awareness about specific issues. The most common topics of PSAs are health and safety, although any message considered to be "helpful" to the public can be a PSA.
