Keywords:
presidential leadership, president, information functions, rhetoric, strategyAbstract
The article explains the necessity of revealing and following study of information functions performed by a modern president. Having analyzed the roles played by the head of the state as a national leader, the author identifies news, program, ideological, articulatory, consolidating functions, as well as those of self-presentation and persuasion. The dominant use of particular information functions may influence working out both information strategies and individual styles of presidential political leadership.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17072/2218-1067-2017-1-46-53References
