Option 2: Food Safety Radio Public Service Announcement

Consider the following scenario: Imagine that your city has experienced a drastic rise in food-borne illness. The public lacks the knowledge about appropriate food safety to prevent these problems, but they do not know how to educate themselves about nutrition and health.
Create a 90-second public service radio announcement about food safety. Include the following points:
•             Identify some common safety issues related to food purchase, storage, and preparation.
•             Describe some illnesses or problems the safety issues might cause, ways to prevent the illnesses or problems.
•             Make recommendations for where readers might search for more information regarding food safety.
o             Include criteria that readers must use to determine credible sources of nutritional information.
o             Explain why it is important for readers to use these criteria when searching for information on nutrition and health.
Research online news sources, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and notices from the local health department to assist you with preparing content for the broadcast.
Perform an Internet search on writing a news broadcast. Use this information to create a transcript for your news broadcast.
Provide a written transcript of the news broadcast.
Cite at least two sources other than the course text.
Format your assignment consistent with APA guidelines.
Submit the written transcript, along with an audio recording of your radio bulletin, to your facilitator.
