ankieta, pisanie przemówień, pisarze przemówień, Sorensen, Biały DomAbstrakt
W artykule zestawiono wnioski z badań archiwalnych dotyczące tworzenia przemówień deliberatywnych w trakcie prezydentury JFK z wnioskami z pilotażowego badania warsztatu pracy międzynarodowych pisarzy przemówień Pisanie przemówień w brytyjskiej i amerykańskiej polityce i biznesie: studium praktyki, zawodu i etyki pisania przemówień. Cieszący się zainteresowaniem współczesnych pisarzy model współpracy Teda Sorensena z prezydentem Johnem F. Kennedym nie jest częścią współczesnej rzeczywistości pisania przemówień. Ankietowani pisarze nie są ekspertami merytorycznymi i mają ograniczony dostęp do liderów, dla których piszą. Jednak ich wiedza w zakresie komunikacji może odgrywać istotną rolę w kształtowaniu i komunikowaniu decyzji politycznych.
