The GSA Press Office is part of the Office of Public Affairs within the U.S. General Services Administration. It carries out the agency’s effort to assist members of the media, as well as citizens, in understanding the important work performed by GSA as we strive toward helping other agencies better serve the public and simplifying citizen access to government information and services.

Although it serves as the official point of contact for national inquiries, the GSA Press Office in Washington, DC, works closely with its regional counterparts to ensure media representatives have public affairs experts to speak with when necessary for regional GSA programs, policies and people.

The GSA Press Office serves the agency, the media and the citizen, by providing the following key elements:

• Press briefings for domestic and foreign press;
• Pursuing  media outreach, enabling Americans everywhere to hear directly from key agency officials through local, regional and national media interviews;
• Producing/coordinating electronic and broadcast products and services in the U.S. and abroad for the public and the press.

Recognizing the importance of a reporter’s access to information. the GSA News Room provides a helpful resource, with  links to

• Recent GSA News Releases
