The Press Office of my Department receives news headline summaries from the Government Information Service on an hourly basis during the course of the day. A daily newspaper headline listing is also prepared by the GIS. The summaries are circulated in electronic format and are circulated via email on an on-going basis. The Press Officer advises the Minister's office and senior Department officials of matters which are pertinent to the Minister's brief or the Department's area of activity.
