What Makes a Political Speech a Hit or a Flop? | The Agenda
Political speechwriters have an important role to play in any election campaign. And of course, there's an art to their craft. So, what ingredients go into effective speechwriting? What makes some speeches memorable, and others miss the mark entirely? Host Steve Paikin asks: Jeni Armstrong, former lead speechwriter for Justin Trudeau, and Assistant Professor of Political Management at Carleton University; Michael Taube, former speech writer for Stephen Harper, and a columnist for the National Post, Troy Media, and Loonie Politics; and Jared A. Walker, former speechwriter for Jagmeet Singh, and Vice-Chair of the Board of Directors at Broadbent Institute.
