Pages 28-37 | Received 12 Jan 1990, Accepted 26 Jul 1990, Published online: 29 May 2013
 

Abstract

Information provided by television advertising is an important weapon in the fight against a new public health pandemic—AIDS. The authors assess the brief history of AIDS advertising through a rhetorical analysis of the 1987, 1988, and 1989 federal AIDS television campaigns. The descriptive findings from this analysis provide insights for rethinking the role of television advertising in this, and possibly in other, pandemic crises.
