Writing and design tipsWriting and design tips

Public Information Messages: A Contrastive Genre Analysis of State-Citizen CommunicationPublic information messages are an important means of state-citizen communication in today’s societies. Using this genre, citizens are directed to “never ever drink and drive”, to “slow down” and to “learn to say no”.
