Press secretary
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A press secretary is a senior advisor (usually to a politician) who provides advice on how to deal with the news media and, using news management techniques, helps them to maintain a positive public image and avoid negative media coverage. They often, but not always, act as the organization's senior spokesperson. Many governments also have press secretaries. A deputy press secretary is typically a mid-level political staffer who assists the press secretary and communications director with aspects of public outreach. They often write the press releases and media advisories for review by the press secretary and communications director. There are usually assistant press secretaries and press officers that support the press secretary.
