Mrs Palin has often criticised President Barack Obama for his reliance on teleprompters, but in 2007 it appears she had answers to pre-supplied questions placed in one of the same devices.
Meg Stapleton, then her communications director, wrote in a message to several members of staff: "Energy TV would like an interview with the Governor and I thought this Wednesday might work - the questions are below.
"What we need to do is simply book the Governor’s time, provide the answers to the questions below, use the prompter and have her look to the side and answer the questions for use by the TV station.
I just need help on the answers. It needs to be very conversationally written.
"Needs to be on 3:30pm Governor’s feed Wednesday - could record according to Governor ’s schedule on Wednesday morning and would need answers by tomorrow. Possible?"
