  CNN.com - Fleischer resigning White House post - May. 20, 2003
White House press secretary Ari Fleischer smiles during Monday's briefing.
In 28 months as White House press secretary, Fleischer has had generally positive relations with the press corps, but there also have periods of contention about access to the president and the credibility of some White House statements.
By the day of the visit, however, the carrier was within helicopter range and other White House officials said Bush had made the decision in advance to fly with a pilot who made a tailhook landing, so that he could experience what the pilots experience.

 Ron Ziegler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ronald Louis Ziegler (May 12, 1939 – February 10, 2003) was White House Press Secretary during United States President Richard Nixon's administration, from 1969–1974, and Assistant to the President in 1974.
He was the White House press secretary for the Nixon administration during the political scandal known as Watergate.
In 1972, he dismissed the first report of the break-in at the Watergate Hotel as the discussion of a "third rate burglary," but within two years Nixon had resigned under threat of impeachment, and most of his administration was under indictment and headed for prison.

 Ari Fleischer quits as White House press secretary - theage.com.au
Ari Fleischer, left, the presidential press secretary who was the public face of the White House through the September 11 attacks, two wars and the Enron scandal, is quitting to write, lecture and spend more time with his new wife.
White House officials said Mr Fleischer was leaving voluntarily after an exhausting 21/2 years of nearly non-stop major news stories that were carried around the world.
Mr Fleischer has been one of the best known, most recognisable White House press secretaries, largely because so many of his midday briefings after September 11 and during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were carried by the cable networks.

 Bush names Tony Snow press secretary - Boston.com
He inherits one of the toughest jobs in Washington: Trying to manage the flow of White House information in an era of 24-hour news cycles, and put a fresh face on a White House struggling to fight back from a job approval rating that dropped to 32 percent this week in a CNN poll.
Analysts said it was possible that Snow could make the White House more friendly for reporters but that the key will be whether Snow has the insider role he was said to have wanted as a condition for taking the job.
Reporters most of all want a press secretary who is considered a presidential confidant, such as Jody Powell was for Jimmy Carter, and doing that would require a major attitude adjustment by Bush himself, said Stephen Hess, a presidential scholar and professor at George Washington University.

 White House Press Secretary Backpedals After Published Interview
Mike McCurry, the White House press secretary, said in a widely circulated Chicago Tribune interview published Tuesday that the relationship between President Clinton and Lewinsky, a 24-year-old former White House intern, could "end up being a very complicated story" that will be difficult to explain to the American public.
For three weeks, White House officials have described an internal tension between the president's lawyers and his political and press advisers over how much to say about the Lewinsky matter.
McCurry denied that he was the point man in a new White House plan to float the line that Clinton engaged in an inappropriate but entirely legal relationship with Lewinsky.

 Online NewsHour: President Bush Announced Tony Snow as New Press Secretary --April 26, 2006
And that's important, because you want the press secretary to be with the president and be able to talk to reporters about what it was the president said, not what somebody else said, but what the press secretary observed.
He also has to manage the relationship between the president and the White House staff and reporters, and that means things, such as recently McClellan has been involved in bringing reporters in on an off-the-record basis with the president so that they'll get a better feel for who he is in a less formal circumstance.
And you don't want a press secretary to be involved in policy, because if a press secretary is arguing policy, then, when he comes out and talks to reporters, reporters won't know whether it's the president's policies that he's talking about, the president's thinking, or his own thinking.

McClellan was claiming that the White House was not obligated to conduct an inquiry in response to allegations predicated on anonymous sources.
Here was McClellan telling the press corps that he and the White House had absolutely no information of their own on the Wilson leak, yet several reporters--including Novak--know exactly who called them to pass on the information on Wilson's wife.
In fact, several White House reporters with whom I spoke--who were not contacted by the leakers--had only guesses as to which White House aides might have orchestrated the Wilson leak.

White House officials recognize there needs to be a shake-up, but they're resistant to doing anything too vigorous.
It would be nice if the new press secretary arrived in the post and immediately provided a transcript of the testimony by Cheney and Bush in the CIA leak case, along with the text of Donald Rumsfeld's unaccepted resignation letter.
White House officials would be able to stop guessing at what motivates the press and ask someone who might actually know.

He served as deputy press secretary under Joe Lockhart and was appointed Press Secretary when Lockhart left the position in September 2000.
The American people expect their employees in the White House to focus on the challenges of fixing the economy, putting smart policies on the economy, crime and welfare in place and not to focus on whatever else might be going on in the world.
So, the press has new ways of communicating with the American people in real time, and that should provide insights on how the government and White House are working for the American people.

 USATODAY.com - Nixon White House press secretary dies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Ron Ziegler, the pugnacious press secretary who famously called the Watergate break-in a "third-rate burglary" and was the voice of the Nixon administration during the biggest political scandal in American history, has died of a heart attack.
Ziegler spoke for the White House on such historic events as the opening of relations with China and the Vietnam War, but his name is most commonly associated with the Watergate scandal.
Former White House counsel John Dean, who helped expose the scandal, said in an e-book published last year on Salon.com that Ziegler, despite his complaints about Woodward and Bernstein's reporting, was one of the people who may have been Deep Throat.

New White House press secretary Tony Snow suffered a couple of missteps in his first question-and-answer session with the White House press corps on Friday.
On Friday, he scheduled his first informal back-and-forth with the press, an informal, off-camera session called the "gaggle" which White House press secretaries typically hold in the mornings as a sort of warmup for The Big Dance, the formal White House daily news briefing.
And though the press secretary's quarters are among the more spacious in the West Wing, the room quickly filled to overflowing, so that many reporters were stranded in the hallway outside, unable to hear or ask questions.
