Obama’s Communications Team
For those of us interested in political communications, one of the premier posts in the field is the White House Press Secretary. While the role has changed in recent years, the President's chief flak is traditionally the vehicle through which news becomes important, via their close working relationship with the media (ok, I'm not talking about every press secretary here). The White House communications director likewise shapes the national debate on every major issue in ways the public can never even begin to imagine.
President-elect Obama continues to show he's no dummy — and no moderate — with his sharp picks for the White House communications team:
- Robert Gibbs, an Obama campaign spokesman, will be press secretary
- Ellen Moran, EMILY's List executive director, will be communications director
- Dan Pfeiffer named Obama's deputy communications director
