Experience, Skills, and Personality Traits
Press secretaries need experience working in politics. Some may have prior experience in journalism as well. They should be skilled communicators, adept at presenting written and oral messages, frequently under intense pressure with tight time deadlines. They must know how to work as part of a political team and feel comfortable interacting with voters and members of the press, some of whom may be hostile toward them.
