- Identify the topic of Public Service Announcement
My PSA will focus on posting hateful or violent content online. We often want to focus our attention on the emotional stance of the victims of cyberbullying (and with good reason), but we do not focus much time into what consequences can occur to those who are posting the hateful/violent content. I would like to focus my Public Service Announcement on the doers instead of the receivers.
Cyberbullying.org: All states, with the exception of Montana, have enacted bullying prevention laws, which recognize cyberbullying. A few states have specified that those found guilty of cyberbullying may receive fines and/or jail time
In the case of Kowlaski vs. Berkley County Schools, a student was suspended for 10 days for creating a hurtful website dedicated to hurting another student emotionally.

Bullystatistics.org: Cyberbullies, and their parents in some cases, may face criminal charges for partaking in cyberbullying.
Examples of cyberbullying posted online may effect students when applying for college or a job.

StompOutBullying.org: When cyberbullying and getting caught could face arrest depending on the degree of the incident.
My hopes are that this PSA could target anyone of any age that could identify as a bully. I suppose, though, that my main audience are identified bullies in school.
