Writing News Copy

If you want to write a unique public service announcement for your event, here are some guidelines to keep in mind:

  • Use an attention-getting opening line.
  • Keep sentences short.
  • Identify key details upfront.
  • Time your PSA, and make sure the time is correct (15 or 30 seconds is best).
  • Try to get a "local celebrity" to record your PSA to encourage radio stations to run the spot.
