For over 85 years, since Hoover’s administration, official White House press secretaries have been communicating the American Presidency. Tonight former White House press secretaries share behind-the-scenes stories, discuss changes over the years, and tell us what it is like to be in the spotlight as the President’s spokesperson. Moderated by NPR’s Michel Martin, panelists include Ron Nessen (Ford), Marlin Fitzwater (Reagan, Bush), Mike McCurry (Clinton), and Robert Gibbs (Obama). This program is generously supported by the William G. McGowan Charitable Fund, Inc.
