About

Deep Background is a blog for local, state and federal government media professionals. We cover strategies, tactics, non-political issues and other practical matters that are useful to government communicators.

The contents of this blog are strictly the personal views of the blogger, and do not represent the policy of any government department or agency. (And, yes, he cleared this activity with his ethics officer.)

The blogger wishes to remain anonymous because he desires to blog exclusively for his colleagues who practice government PR, and doesn't want to be put in the awkward position of having a reporter call him at work asking for an on-the-record comment on the practices of a colleague from another agency.
