USA against nuclear Iran

In this blog I would like to show you a form of advertising which I think is very impressive and striking. In one of my previous blogs I discussed the fact that the Dutch government has positioned big, live billboards in Amsterdam and Rotterdam to reduce aggression towards public service employees. In this blog I will also discuss media use by the government or better indicated as media use by a country.
My parents went to New York last week and as you all know, New York is the place were advertising is playing a major role in the daily life. Since my dad knows that I’m interested in advertising and media use, he took this picture of a billboard in the centre of New York.



The man on the picture is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran. He is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. He flouts international law by developing a nuclear weapon. America is against nuclear Iran and America thinks that this should concern every American citizen. It is unacceptable for them that Iran is trying to develop a nuclear weapon. It could be very dangerous for the world, but especially for America and probably also for the West when Iran is in possession of a nuclear weapon. A nuclear Iran is a danger to world peace.

In my opinion it is very clever from the USA to position these billboards in all major American cities. This is probably one of the best manners to inform the public about the nature of the Iranian regime, their intention to develop a nuclear weapon and the role that Iran is playing in terrorism. Besides that, the government or America as a country makes other countries aware of the fact that Iran is trying to develop a nuclear weapon. Since there are thousands of tourist every day and they all go back to their countries with the knowledge that Iran is engaged in nuclear weapons. By placing these huge billboards with the striking appearance in big cities as New York, Iran’s plans are within short time a worldwide discussion topic. Better said, the USA is trying to create nationally and internationally awareness of Iran’s plans.
On the billboard is a website mentioned, so the billboard is to reach the attention of the people and to persuade them to go to their website. At uani.com people can protest against nuclear Iran, like the abbreviation UANI (United Against Nuclear Iran) actually says.
This blog is less based on the actual media use of America, but more on the UANI campaign. Because this campaign is a current form of media use with an interesting topic I had to make a blog about it. I hope you liked reading it en hopefully you will also read my next blogs.
