Hm. An interesting Wikipedia entry there... I’m kinda disappointed that it’s
limited to a modern interpretation. Their “U.S. Examples” omit things I’d
consider to be even more closely aligned with their initial definition.
Namely: WPA posters of the 1930’s and 1940’s. (WPA = Works Progress
Administration) Many are beautifully designed, graphically stark, and pack a
punch for sending out their message.

It’s Wikipedia - feel free to add to the article ;)

Heh. True.
I’m usually too chicken to edit or add anything there. Something tells me that
the rest of the world is probably smarter than I am. So I’m imagining that,
somehow, big printed posters telling the population to get tested for syphilis
don’t fit the modern definition of “Public Service Announcement.” (I noticed
though that there *is* a WPA poster displayed on
the Wikipedia’s entry for “syphilis”!)
The only entry I’m responsible for adding to the Wikipedia is this one:
