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 nonprofit form of advertising to the media. They are available to nonprofit organizations, but have to follow the same guidelines as advertising that is paid. A PSA is not just free advertising; they have to include a public service message, and not just promoting an organization.  An example of a PSA that I've seen on television is about sad, abused animals that have been saved, and they need to be adopetd.
