Advertising And The Public Interest

Advertising and the Public Interest

Divita assembled Advertising and the Public Interest from selected papers of the Advertising and the Public Interest Conference held in Washington, D.C. in May 1973. These papers are written by top names in the field, such as George S. Day, Francesco Nicosia, John A. Howard, and John G. Myers. These papers begin by discussing the 1971 FTC Hearings and move on to discuss all the differing aspects of advertising. Some of the perspectives focus on how television changed advertising, how adult and children consumers feel about the new roles advertising took on in the early 1970s, and new avenues for advertising research.

The text produces an operational framework for use in translating complex interdisciplinary conceptual material into testable and significant questions. The paper concludes that both group and individual perspectives have relevant contributions to consumer knowledge.
