Spokesman
A spokesman (spokeswoman or spokesperson) is someone engaged to speak on behalf of others.The term spokesperson, invented to replace the conventional spokesman, is a typical example of a
gender-neutral neologism.In the present media-sensitive world, many organizations are increasingly likely to employ professionals who have received formal training in
journalism,
communications,
public relations and
public affairs in this role in order to ensure that public announcements are made in the most appropriate fashion and through the most appropriate channels to maximize the impact of favorable messages, and to minimize the impact of unfavorable messages. Popular local and national sports stars (such as
Michael Jordan or
Bob Uecker) are often chosen as spokespeople for commercial advertising.
