White House Announces New Guidelines for Media Coverage of Donald Trump

ai generated text

The White House has announced plans to take control over the selection of news organizations and reporters that are part of the presidential press pool, covering events such as those held in the Oval Office. This decision was made by Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and is a change from the current system, where the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) selects which outlets participate in the press pool. The changes are reportedly in response to a temporary ruling that allows the Trump administration to bar the Associated Press from the press pool, following the outlet's resistance to renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America". The new system will give the White House the authority to decide which media organizations have access to the press pool and to participate in covering presidential events.

    1. It's beyond time the White House press pool reflects the media habits of the American people in 2025.
    2. The White House press team in this administration will determine who gets to enjoy the very privileged and limited access in spaces such as Air Force One and the Oval Office.
    3. Legacy media outlets who have been here for years will still participate in the pool, but new voices are going to be welcomed in as well.
    4. For decades, a group of D.C.-based journalists, the White House Correspondents' Association, has long dictated which journalists get to ask questions of the president of the United States in these most intimate spaces. Not anymore.

    1. This move tears at the independence of a free press in the United States. It suggests the government will choose the journalists who cover the president. In a free country, leaders must not be able to choose their own press corps.
    2. For generations, the working journalists elected to lead the White House Correspondents' Association board have consistently expanded the WHCA's membership and its pool rotations to facilitate the inclusion of new and emerging outlets.

    1. This move does not give power back to the people - it gives power to the White House.
