Scope and content:

Show detail Hide detail

The records in this sub-series consist of active or semi-active digital records that had been stored on a shared Prime Minister's Office computer network drive (designated "PMO-Common") in a top-level "Media Relations" folder. The sub-series is divided into two sub-sub-series: "subject files" consisting of records arranged within subject-based digital folders; and "staff files" consisting of records associated with specific individuals.

"Media Relations" was a branch of the Office of the Prime Minister (PMO) - Communications unit tasked with managing media interactions (often in tandem with other areas of PMO Communications and the PMO Issues Management unit). For example, media relations staff would coordinate requests to interview ministers or departmental officials; monitor post-caucus and post-question period scrums; correct incomplete or erroneous media reports; pitch government messages to media outlets; compile and distribute ministerial notable event advisories; arrange for representatives to appear on talk or political programs; brief members of Parliament prior to interviews or appearances on political panels; and maintain up-to-date media lists.

Arrangement note:

The records in this sub-series had originally been stored on a shared Prime Minister's Office (PMO) computer network drive (designated "PMO-Common") in a top-level folder titled "Media Relations". [BREAK] When received by Library and Archives Canada the main "Media Relations" folder consisted of many sub-folders arranged in loose alphetical order based on titles that reflected: a) a subject (e.g., "Issues scans"), or b) the name of a staff person (e.g., "Sarah McMaster"). To aid discoverability, archivists established sub-sub-series that reflect these two broad categories and distributed the digital sub-folders accordingly. Unless otherwise noted, the original order of digital records within each sub-folder has been retained.

Related material:

Note that the distinction between Media Relations and the rest of the Communications unit was not necessarily firm and varied over time. Similar records can be found in the "Communications teams (PMO-CMM)" sub-series.
