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:
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
