WASHINGTON--New White House press secretary Jay Carney is settling into his new West Wing office--the one vacated over the weekend by Robert Gibbs--and will host his first briefing on Wednesday, he just told me.

The briefing will be the first time Carney meets the White House press corps in his new role. As Vice President Biden's press secretary, Carney's inter-actions with reporters were usually one-on-one and off camera. Wednesday briefing will probably be well attended and much analyzed as to Carney's style and substance.
