White House Moves to Pick the Pool Reporters Who Cover Trump
Published On Feb 25, 2025, 2:36 PM
The Trump administration has announced a new policy that allows it to handpick which media outlets are permitted to participate in the White House press pool. This groundbreaking change breaks with decades of tradition where the White House Correspondents’ Association decided on the press pool membership. By controlling access, the administration aims to integrate new media outlets while still keeping established ones involved, arguing that it restores power to the public by diversifying the media voices allowed in the press pool.
