Public speaking

Definition
Public speaking, the oldest medium, is the oral distribution of information to audiences during events that are open to the public or occur in public areas. These events or forums include but are not limited to academic debates, educational lectures, news conferences, political rallies, public government meetings, religious sermons, and S&T exhibitions. Neither the speaker nor the audience has the expectation of privacy when participating in a public speaking forum unless there is an expressed condition of privacy such as the Chatham House Rule.
