To whom does the press secretary report to ? Director of communications ? Chief of staff ?
Is this list complete? accurate? for instance, was George Stephanopoulos White House Press Secretary, as some sources mention? he is not in the list of this article. olivier 02:55, May 11, 2004 (UTC)
Why does the generic term "Press Secretary" redirect to the specific position of White House Press Secretary? Isn't this a job title that occurs in more than one organisation?-- Victim Of Fate 11:04, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
At this point, my concerns are likely of little impact, however I think it is important to bring up. While numerous media sources have cited President Bush has picked Tony Snow, there has yet to be an official announcement and he has not assumed the role of Press Secretary. I only wonder if he was prematurely listed as Press Secretary. As I said this is likely to be moot as an announcement is expected today, but I just thought it was important to note.
I sought but did not find an article on the white house press corps. Mathiastck 18:45, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Should we list the salary for this post? We do so for President of the United States and Chief Justice of the United States, for example. We have a 2004 source for Mr Fleischer's salary from the Washington Post here; as the President's salary hasn't changed since then I guess the whole scale is stuck at those levels too. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 22:59, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Should a section be included ("Trivia" ?) to mention the ceremonial flak jacket that is passed from one Press Secretary to their successor, with little notes in the pockets with words of advice? Google has lots of info, and it's verified at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/ask/20070103.html Yo 11:27, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
this probably isn't worth adding, but i thought it was interesting when read that dana perino got a black eye when bush got the shoes thrown at him...the article said 'who thought be press secretary was this dangerous?' and i thought james brady anyone? anyways...later homiez Dc2011 ( talk) 18:56, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

J. Leonard Reinsch was never Truman's press secretary. Truman Library - J. Leonard Reinsch interview (Sections 47-53). If there are no objections, I will begin removing references of his placement as Press secretary in a few days. Ljmajer ( talk) 21:04, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
For some reason there are some random apostrophes found in the press secretary info box. One can be found below the press secretary logo and the "Office of the Press Secretary" quote. The second can be found right after the name. Looking through the code I can't find where the apostrophes are coming from. In the info box the apostrophes are used for bold or italic text or bold text but that's not the cause. Can anyone identify the cause?

Hey, I'm curious about this sentence: "The White House Press Secretary is a senior White House official whose primary responsibility is to act as spokesperson for the government administration." Do they have the authority to speak on behalf of the legislative and judicial branches, or is it just the executive branch? 75.72.27.74 ( talk) 09:48, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
How can it be that he isn't mentioned anywhere here? He gives today's press briefings and is the "official" spokesperson of the cabinet.. Looks like it's a bit outdated. Bataaf van Oranje ( talk) 20:47, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
Shouldn't Joseph Short's start of term be September 18 instead of September 5? Stephen Early was acting Press Secretary from 9/5 to 9/18. Speakes and Fitzwater are the only other "acting" secretaries, both functionally fulfilling the role although it was still officially held by the injured James Brady. I haven't seen any evidence that Short's tenure officially started 9/5. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.166.89.215 ( talk) 19:37, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Sean Spicer quit today and the new press secretary is Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Please update the page. 74.96.190.246 ( talk) 01:45, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
@ X4n6: I see literally nothing in either of those sources that states the resignation was effective immediately. You have nothing to say that he is serving in any other capacity than in the roles he held. Therequiembellishere ( talk) 01:09, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
Has Spicer's resignation as Press Secretary taken effect with Sanders succeeding him from July 21? Therequiembellishere ( talk) 02:09, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
@ Snow Rise: The only place I found "Huckabee Sanders" as her surname was in the UK Daily Mail:
So perhaps you're referencing a British naming convention, where compound, non-hyphenated surnames are commonplace. But she is an American political operative, so American form applies. Here's a list of the major American sources that I found that just used "Sanders." That appears to be the consensus.
Incidentally, they all refer to her as the new press secretary. Not one refers to Spicer as still having the title. Or them sharing the title as "co-press secretaries." I repeat, not one. Because there is only one current press secretary - and by every reliable source and common sense metric - it ain't Spicer.
This should be more than sufficient. It's highly doubtful that anyone will be able to provide an equal, or equally reliable, number of current sources which say anything different. X4n6 ( talk) 10:05, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
"Anthony Scaramucci had nothing but glowing praise for new White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders when he made the rounds on morning shows on Sunday."
"On Friday afternoon, newly appointed White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders walked to the lectern in the West Wing’s briefing room and calmly began to talk about “Made in America” Week."
"The mainstream media displayed what some see as a double standard on criticizing women after Sarah Huckabee Sanders was promoted to White House Press Secretary last week."
"The new White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was nine years old when she worked her first political campaign: her father’s bid for a U.S. Senate seat in Arkansas."
"Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, resigned Friday after telling President Trump he vehemently disagreed with his appointment of Anthony Scaramucci, a New York financier, as his new communications director. Mr. Spicer’s top deputy, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, will serve as press secretary instead."
"A day after congressional negotiators announced an agreement on a Russian sanctions bill, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the administration was also on board."
"New White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Sunday the administration supports congressional sanctions against Russia."
"Trump’s top communication aides set out to try to present a united front two days after the president added New York financier Anthony Scaramucci as communications director and promoted Sarah Huckabee Sanders to press secretary after Sean Spicer resigned unexpectedly."
"The White House reeled on Tuesday from the sudden collapse of the Senate’s push to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, and President Donald Trump acknowledged he was "very disappointed" with the latest blow to his stalled legislative agenda. Principal deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders addressed reporters off camera Tuesday afternoon at the White House as Republicans on Capitol Hill scrambled to map the path forward."
FWIW, this article should be in line with the Sean Spicer and Sarah Huckabee Sanders articles. GoodDay ( talk) 01:32, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
X4n6, as of this edit, you have violated WP:3RR with your revert of an edit that is 100% allowed under WP:TPO (which you don't seem to be bothering to read before continuing to edit war). I could (and probably should) take this to an admin to be addressed, but I just don't have it in me today to waste a mop's time with something so trivial, not when you just got bounced from ANI. Nor will I revert further (your reversion is out of line and a violation of policy, wheras my edit is supported by policy and completely legitimate, but I won't enable the disruption further).
I am, however, leaving this note as to the WP:disruptive behaviour, for benefit of anyone else who, like me, is summoned to this RfC by bot and is trying to make heads or tails about what is going on between you and the Therequiembellishere. When I arrived here as an uninvolved party, and saw the heated exchange between you and Requiem above, I thought the WP:BATTLEGROUND behaviour was a two way street; I am no longer so certain that the issues are equally owned between you. WP:SYNTH, WP:Talk page guidelines and WP:EDITWAR are all important policies that you need to fully digest if you are going to participate here. I've informed Core of the issue at hand, so stop implying that I am changing the meaning of his comment by making a routine format change that is explictly allowed and encouraged under TPO.

"Never edit or move someone's comment to change its meaning, even on your own talk page... Cautiously editing or removing another editor's comments is sometimes allowed, but normally you should stop if there is any objection."
On White_House_Communications_Director it says the Communications Director reports to the Chief of Staff. Who does the Press Secretary report to? and shouldn't this information be included in the infobox? Davidwbarratt ( talk) 16:11, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
