White House Press Secretary
|
James Campbell Hagerty (May 9, 1909 – April 11, 1981) served as the sixth White House Press Secretary from 1953 to 1961 during the administration of Dwight D. Eisenhower. He was known for providing much more detail on the lifestyle of the president than previous press secretaries; for example, he covered in great detail Eisenhower's medical condition.
Most of the time, he handled routine affairs such as daily reports on presidential activities, defending presidential policies, and assisting
diplomatic visitors.
He handled embarrassing episodes, such as those related to the Soviet downing of an American spy plane, the U-2 in 1960. He handled press relations on Eisenhower's international trips, sometimes taking the blame from a hostile foreign press.
Eisenhower often relied upon him for advice about public opinion, and how to phrase complex issues. Hagerty had a reputation for supporting civil rights initiatives.
