Understand the context of our work in The WatchBlog
While our work touches on issues impacting Americans every day, our analysis is often technical. It can be difficult to understand the context of our work or how its relevant to today’s issues. That’s where the WatchBlog comes in. Our blog responds to breaking news, national discussion, and public interest by connecting headlines with our work. The blog is a great resource for journalists looking for fact-based, nonpartisan information about—for example, the federal response to growing cyber threats.

GAO Contacts
GAO's mission is to provide Congress with fact-based, nonpartisan information that can help improve federal government performance and ensure accountability for the benefit of the American people. GAO launched its WatchBlog in January, 2014, as part of its continuing effort to reach its audiences—Congress and the American people—where they are currently looking for information.
The blog format allows GAO to provide a little more context about its work than it can offer on its other social media platforms. Posts will tie GAO work to current events and the news; show how GAO’s work is affecting agencies or legislation; highlight reports, testimonies, and issue areas where GAO does work; and provide information about GAO itself, among other things.
