This is something that makes sense to be part of a public relations professional's skill set, but for some reason, I have never connected the two before. I used to always think PSAs were government sponsored things, but now I know organizations can send out PSAs.
I learned the small amount of words that can be used for TV and radio spots. 30 seconds seems like a long time, but it's not nearly as long as it seems. 65 words for 30 seconds seems like way too small of an amount, but if you talk for 30 seconds at a normal speed, then 65 words is the right amount. It's crazy to see the differences between print and audio medias. While both are forms of media, it is a completely different method in writing for each. For some reason, I don't associate PR professionals with television spots because those are mostly advertisements. While you pay for PSAs to be broadcasted, the point of them isn't to gain a profit. I would never expect to write PSAs in my professional career, but after this assignment, it is something that interests. This is yet another thing this class has taught me that will help me to have a well-rounded skill set for my career. I can't believe we only have one more major assignment left after this! This semester has seriously flown by!
