White House Daily Press Briefing

The White House press corps has long been governed by the White House Correspondents’ Association, which assigns seats in the briefing room and determined who was in the press pool that covers the president.

This has changed since the White House announced in late February that it would take more of a role in deciding the news outlets that cover President Donald Trump up close. New additions to the press pool included non-legacy organizations that favor conservative viewpoints, like the “Sage Steele Show” and Right Side Broadcasting Network.

The Trump administration has also taken a more public approach in expressing opposition to media coverage. White House press releases include statements discrediting the reliability of traditional outlets, echoing Trump’s personal remarks over the years.
