From the Washington Post: "How much is good press worth? To the Bush administration, about $1.6 billion.
"That's how much seven federal departments spent from 2003 through the second quarter of 2005 on 343 contracts with public relations firms, advertising agencies, media organizations and individuals, according to a new Government Accountability Office report."
The full General Accountability Office (GAO) report on media contracts is available for review: "Media Contracts: Activities and Financial Obligations for Seven Federal Departments."
