Spokesperson
From Free net encyclopedia
(Redirected from Spokesman)
A spokesperson (spokesman or spokeswoman), or spokesmodel is a person who speaks on behalf of others, but is understood not to be necessarily part of the others (e.g. hired to represent the others). Locally-popular retired sports stars (like Bob Uecker or Kent Hrbek) often become spokespeople.
Spokesperson is a typical example of a non-sexist neologism that was invented to replace the conventional spokesman.
