The Government Press Office is the main source of information on Government of Belize (GOB) policies, activities and positions on national and international issues. As a result, the Press Office uses best efforts to attend most government events to provide photographic, video and audio coverage which is then disseminated to the media and used in the Government Press Office’s productions. The Government Press Office is called on to assist in planning and in providing coverage in the event of state and official visits, and acts as a liaison with the media during these visits and at formal local events hosted by Ministries and Departments of government. Additionally, the Press Office may arrange press tours to specific locations for in-depth views of development projects or visits to other sites where activities are of national importance. The Information Unit acts as a liaison with leading Belizean personalities, spokespeople, lawmakers, officials and academics.
