My school has taken it upon themselves to allow students to create Public Service Announcements (PSA) for credit. My media arts teacher made a youtube page to try and get them to the public, but I feel that there should be a bigger audience. I believe that we should find a way to put them on television, or find a way to help power, impactful webpages such as MySpace and YouTube to announce us, or "promote" us. If anyone wants to take a look at what we have done, take a look at:
