Public Affairs Officers work behind the scenes to represent our organizations. We don’t express our personal opinion on behalf of our organizations. We share a rule with journalists in that we never want to be THE story.
This is our charter – to provide necessary context and clarity as to gain accurate reporting to the American people because they provide us the resources, authority and support to defend this country.
We are biased representatives of our organization. The organization’s bias, not our own.
We are not representatives of ourselves.
The story is not about us. The story is about a Soldier, a family, an event or an organization.
Stay out of the spotlight. Your job is well behind the scenes.
