Questions to Ask When Watching • Is there a product (or a company) being promoted? • Is the campaign asking me to change my behavior in some way? • Who paid for this spot? Are they a non-profit? • If I give the promoter money do I get something for it, or is it a donation? • Did I learn something from the spot? Can I verify the information?
