- Summary:
- The rise of the media presidency through radio and television broadcasts has heightened the importance of presidential rhetoric, giving way to the rise of professional speechwriters. Yet the reliance of presidents on their speechwriters has varied with the rhetorical skill of the officeholder himself. The chapters here give insight into the process and development of presidential speechwriting from Roosevelt's administration to Reagan's.
