On April 15 local time, the White House made a significant adjustment to the system for reporting on President Trump's daily activities,取消ing the fixed seats that had long been occupied by news agencies.
A White House official said that the press pool will now consist of: two print media journalists, a crew from a major television network, a crew from a secondary television network or streaming platform, one radio reporter, one "new media" or independent journalist, and four photojournalists.
It is reported that in the future, eligible media will be selected into the press pool according to a rotation system, and White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levett will retain the discretion to determine the composition of the press pool every day. News agencies can still participate in joint team coverage as part of the daily print journalist rotation, but they no longer enjoy permanent seats. The White House emphasized that any media "regardless of their point of view" has the qualification to participate in the press pool rotation.
This adjustment occurred just days after a federal judge's ruling. The judge previously ruled that the Trump administration must restore the Associated Press' access to the White House core area for interviews, as the media had been banned from entering due to its refusal to use the term "Gulf of America" in its style guide.
