title: Graduate students develop PSAs: a media experience provided by commercial television.
abstract: Graduate students in a nutrition education course worked with the special projects producer at a commercial television station to develop three nutrition PSAs. This project involved the students in experiences that demonstrated the possibilities as well as the limitations of using commercial television for defined educational purposes. It was evaluated as a meaningful learning experience by all of the students, and one which will encourage them to work with mass media in their professional careers.
