I want to – make that need to — know what Secretary Hillary Clinton is doing every day

By SusanUnPC on January 24, 2009 at 8:00 PM in Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, State Department, State Department Press Briefings

Since I’ve got a hunch that the media won’t be covering most of Hillary’s day-to-day achievements as Secretary of State — except when they can somehow infer that Hillary is focusing on a certain country because Bill’s foundation somehow got funding from that government or one of its prominent citizens (RIGHT?) — I’m digging around the State Department (it’s easy to remember as state.gov) to find out how to get make sure I get daily news.

Ani spend a lot of time finding and including all the information she provided and desecribed in her great post on Hillary’s first days as SoS below.

Here’s one way we can get daily reports, via State’s Press Briefing section, and I’ve signed up already:

state-press-3

Wait! There’s more information you can get from State:

ALSO: State has a video page where you can get videos under four headings: — Top Stories (2 videos as of today) — Secretary of State (3 videos as of today) — Daily Briefings (none yet) — In Other News (none yet). Also, at the bottom of the pages with videos, there are links to the full transcripts.

Then, once you’ve signed up for the daily press briefings (shown in the screenshot above the fold), you’re taken to a new page with options that allow you to sign up for specific newsletters from the many departments at State. This screenshot shows just the beginning of all the departments from which you can get announcements, and you can choose which departments you want to hear from by checking/unchecking specific sections:

Then, after you’ve completed that page and clicked the “Save” button at the bottom, you’re taken automatically to another page about careers at State:

careers-state

We should get young adults we know to consider applying to State so they can join Hillary. What a career they could have!

NOW, what else is going on in the world?
