In Other Media
- Sorensen was portrayed by actor Clifford David in the 1974, made-for-TV film The Missiles of October.
- In the 1998 HBO mini-series From the Earth to the Moon, Sorensen is played by Jack Gilpin.
- In the 2000 film Thirteen Days, although he is played by Tim Kelleher, it is widely believed that the lead role (played by Kevin Costner) was modeled after Sorensen himself. In an interview, Robert McNamara claimed the duties performed by Kenneth O'Donnell in the film are closer to the role Sorensen played during the actual crisis: "It was not Kenny O'Donnell who pulled us all together—it was Ted Sorensen."

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
