Responsibilities include preparing and distributing statements and other resources for the media, arranging for interviews with bishops and staff of the USCCB, organizing press conferences, responding to media queries and credentialing media for coverage of such events as the bishops' annual meetings. As one of the offices within the Department of Communications, Public Affairs is under the direction of the Chief Communications Officer, James Rogers.
