Office of the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General

The Office of the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General is a department of the United Nations that provides information to the news media regarding the activities of the U.N. as a whole.^[1]

The department is in charge of managing media relations on behalf of:

• The Secretary-General of the United Nations^[1]
• The Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations^[1]
• Other senior U.N. officials^[1]

• Stéphane Dujarric – Spokesperson for the Secretary-General^[1]
• Farhan Haq – Deputy Spokesperson^[1]
• Florencia Soto Nino – Associate Spokesperson^[1]
• Shirin Yaseen – Associate Spokesperson^[1]
• Stephanie Tremblay – Associate Spokesperson^[1]
• Daniela Gross – Associate Spokesperson^[1]

In 2012, the official United Nations Twitter account posted an erroneous tweet, implying that the U.N. Secretary-General supports a one-state solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. The tweet was later found to have been written by spokesperson Nancy Groves, who attributed it to a "terrible typo".^[2]

According to Reuters, the U.N. spokesperson post is considered to be a "dream job", but it requires taking into account the concerns of the 192 nations and "competing for the Secretary-General's attention".^[3]
