spokesperson
Meaning
A spokesperson is a person who speaks on behalf of an organization or group, conveying information and representing its views to the public or media.
💡 A common mistake is to confuse "spokesperson" with "spokesman" or "spokeswoman," which are gender-specific terms; "spokesperson" is gender-neutral.
