WASHINGTON
Jay Carney is a former bureau chief for Time magazine. He
promised Wednesday to provide journalists the "best information"
they need to cover the White House. But he made clear that he works
for the president and will promote the president's agenda from the
briefing room podium.
Carney is a well-known name in Washington, having served most
recently as Vice President Joe Biden's communications director.
Carney replaces Robert Gibbs, a longtime Obama aide. Gibbs left
the White House last week and will give paid speeches before
eventually joining the president's reelection campaign.
