Office Note
The
Office of Media Relations handled all press contacts with the White House other
than the actual White House press corps.
It was created in the fall of 1981 from the Office of Media Liaison in
the Press Office and the Television Office from the Office of Communication.
The office had various names throughout the administration including: Media
Liaison; Office of Media Relations and Planning; Office of Media Relations and
Broadcasting; Office of Media and Broadcasting Relations. Their staff, physical location in the White
House and general functions remained exactly the same during these various name
changes. For ease of use and to reflect their organizational unity the Library
is naming this office: Office of Media Relations.
