Career
Carney began working as a reporter for The Miami Herald in his first job after college and joined Time magazine as the Miami bureau chief in December 1988. He worked as a reporter in Time's Moscow bureau for three years, covering the Soviet Union's demise. In mid-1993, he moved to Washington, D.C., to cover the Bill Clinton White House. He covered Clinton's first term, the Newt Gingrich-led Republican Congress, and Clinton's impeachment by the US House of Representatives. He was a traveling reporter on Texas Governor George W. Bush and Senator John McCain's 2000 presidential race, as well as a White House correspondent for Bush's first term as president. On September 11, 2001, Carney was one of only a few journalists aboard Air Force One with President Bush. Carney served from 2003 to 2005 as Time's Washington bureau deputy chief, then bureau chief, from September 2005 to December 2008.
Carney resigned from the private sector on December 15, 2008, to serve as the head of communications to Vice President-elect Joe Biden's position.
Carney was nominated for second White House press secretary in January 27, 2011. William M. Daley, the White House's chief of staff, appointed him as the successor to former press secretary Robert Gibbs. By Daley on that day, Carney was one of 14 White House contaminated people.
Carney was press secretary during a string of pivotal moments in Obama's presidency, including: the so-called "Birther movement" prominent by Donald Trump and Fox News; the passage of the American Taxpayer Act, which addressed sequestration and the fiscal cliff, and raised taxes on high earners; and the enforcing of sanctions against Russia for its invasion and annexation of Crimea; and Obama's declaration of his support for same-sex marriage
President Barack Obama declared that Carney would be replaced by Josh Earnest on May 30, 2014. Carney is the longest-serving press secretary since Michael McCurry in the mid-1990s, and he spent three years and five months on the job.

Carney started working with Amazon as the senior vice president of global corporate affairs on March 2, 2015. He started managing a lobbying and public-policy group of about two dozen employees, but by 2021, the number had risen to about 250 people. The number of registered lobbyists for Amazon tripled between 2014 and 2020, down from at least 180. In China, the subject traveled to promote Kindle devices and electronic books, which culminated in the Chinese market's devolution of corporate cloud technology being governed by Chinese companies toward political objectives.
Carney had to cancel out of public speaking twice during the month of October 2019. The first was when he compared the Bush and Clinton administrations to the Trump administration. "Anyone I worked with in those administrations, whether I agreed or disagreed with what they felt to be the right policy choices or the correct way to do it, never doubted that they were patriots," Carney said. "I don't look that way now." With a tweet later, Trump said he had admiration for many patriots who serve in the US government.
Carney sent out a tweet expressing outrage about the game's officiating. Carney referred to the officiating as a "disgrace," referring to the umpires as "a slew of obese, diabetic, and half-blind geriatrics." The following day, he apologised.
In July 2022, it was announced that Carney would be joining Airbnb as the Global Head of Policy and Communications.
