ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Spokesperson

A spokesperson is someone who talks on behalf of someone or something else. It is like when you ask someone to talk to the teacher for you if you cannot go to school that day or are sick. The spokesperson helps to say the message that the person or thing wants to say, like when a company needs to tell people about a new product they made or when a politician needs to share their ideas with the public. Spokespersons are important because they help to get information out to many people at once and they can answer questions that others may have. It is kind of like having a messenger who speaks for you!
