“What does freedom of speech mean to me?” the PSA asks, and then we hear voices answering the question: “It means I can build a mosque and worship there.” “It means I don’t have to stay silent when I’m wronged.” “It means I can fight for the right to marry.” “It means I can write about how I feel about my elected officials, good or bad.” “It means I can spread the gospel of Christ.”
Winning PSAs are at www.freedomofspeechpsa.org and will be posted by NAB for download July 15.
First-place radio and TV winners will be recognized at a Society of Professional Journalists conference in New Orleans in September.
Some 100 communications students competed in the contest calling for 30-second spots.
