Answer to Question 1

The three criteria that must be met for a communication to be considered an advertisement are that it must be paid for, it must be mass mediated, and it must be an attempt to persuade. A public service advertisement is mass mediated and an attempt to persuade. However, by definition, a public service announcement is not paid for and cannot be considered advertising.
