Abstract

The White House has implemented a new system of media access, selecting specific outlets to cover President Donald Trump in certain settings, which limits the traditional role of major newswires like the Associated Press and Reuters. The decision to include Newsmax and Blaze Media in the press pool, while excluding established outlets like the AP, has sparked objections from the editors of the three main news agencies. This move has raised concerns about press independence and access to reliable information, as the White House takes control of selecting journalists for the pool system. [Extracted from the article]
