My next media revelation from class comes from page 76 and 77 where Hilliard covers public service announcements and their relevance to the media world. This topic interested me because I have always wondered what purpose PSAs served and who organized them. Hilliard describes some characteristics of PSAs, saying that they are often persuasive like commercials, providing information while also motivating the audience to take action in some way. When I was looking through this section I was reminded of when I was in middle school and my friends and I found some, what we found to be hilarious at the time, dubbed over old G.I. Joe PSAs that we would watch repeatedly and laugh at again and again. It was somewhat nostalgic finding one to embed into this post.
