The President of the United States has the largest megaphone in the world and communications from presidents and their staff are an important part of the 24/7 news cycle. Join former presidential speechwriters from both sides of the aisle for a discussion on the importance of word choice by the president, from major speeches to tweets, and the impact this rhetoric has on news reporting.
Moderated by Tamara Keith, White House Correspondent for NPR and co-host of the NPR Politics Podcast, the conversation will include:
Ambassador Carolyn Curiel, former speechwriter for President Bill Clinton
Cody Keenan, former chief speechwriter for President Barack Obama
John McConnell, former speechwriter for President George W. Bush
