Public Communication Campaigns—the American Experience
Public Communication Campaigns—the American Experience
Public communication campaigns are a familiar and essential part of American civic culture. Campaign topics range from personal issues, such as health, to social issues, such as equal opportunity, energy conservation, and environmental protection. Campaigns are regarded as public service programs if their goals are widely supported by the public and policy makers. However, if their goals are controversial, then campaigns are regarded as advocacy strategies. As societal values change, some campaign topics (e.g., race and gender equality) move from the second category to the first. Some topics (e.g., the traditional American diet now regarded as unhealthy) move from the first category to the second.
