Press Activities and Media Support

The Public Diplomacy section is the point of contact for Lebanese and resident foreign media on matters of U.S. Government policy worldwide, but especially regarding Lebanon.

PD supports official visits by U.S. Government officials to Lebanon, making official transcripts of public addresses, briefings, and press conferences taking place during these visits.

Press inquiries to any section of the Embassy are made through the Public Affairs Officer. She and the information staff handle requests for interviews and background briefings, make appointments, and take care of access to other Embassy offices.

The aim of the U.S. Embassy is to disseminate accurate and up-to-date information on U.S. policies, priorities and programs. Similarly, we hope to dispel misinformation and false claims in the media about the United States.
