Obama and the Press | vanityfair.com

HANDLING THE FOURTH ESTATE
The Obama Administration may have the smartest, most finely calibrated press operation in White House history, parceling out scoops, partisan talking points, and First Family tidbits to a desperate media. Just don't ask them to admit it. The administration has started with 14 professionals working in the office of the press secretary—and an astounding 47 more devoted to other aspects of media and message - which is significantly more than the communications staffs of many Fortune 500 corporations. But the media operation goes deeper than that. It’s more central than in any previous administration, and run more knowledgeably.
