A press secretary typically represents a government agency to the media to enhance their public image. They have a very important job – as the voice of the agency, they must be stellar communicators and presenters. They typically develop relationships with the media by responding to questions and issuing statements through live press conferences, briefings and news releases. In addition to an undergraduate degree in communications, journalism or public relations, press secretaries may also require a specialized background in politics, law, and government.
