mutually beneficial relationship.

President and the Media

media events

Types of New Releases
• Backgrounder: when a government official will give pieces of information. Reporters can use the information in a story, but they cannot reveal the source.
• Leak: Officials will anonymously release secret information. They do this so seek public support for an unpopular policy or to expose government corruption.
