Public service advertising

Public service advertising (PSA) is a type of communication designed to inform or educate the public about important social issues, health concerns, or behavioral changes. Unlike commercial ads that promote products or services, PSAs aim to raise awareness, influence attitudes, and encourage positive actions for the betterment of society. They are often created by government agencies, non-profits, or community groups and are free to air or distribute. The main goal is to serve the public interest, such as promoting safety, health, or environmental responsibility, rather than making a profit.
