The United States Department of State maintains Foreign Press Centers in Washington, D.C. and New York City to provide foreign-based journalists with a variety of services to help them report on American society, politics and culture. The primary goals of these centers are:

- To explain U.S. foreign policy through briefings and interviews with high-

level U.S. government officials

- To explain U.S. society via reporting tours on topics of interest, including the themes of national security issues, U.S. government, economic prosperity, and American values.

- To assist foreign journalists as they integrate into working life in America. This includes credentialing and other facilitative assistance. The centers also work with U.S. Embassy Public Affairs offices overseas to assist foreign correspondents visiting the United States on assignment or participating in U.S. government-sponsored professional reporting tours.
