Washington – The Trump administration will no longer give cable services a permanent place in the White House press group after the victory of Associated Press last week in a demand on its exclusion, according to the post.
Instead, the White House is giving a second place to “print” journalists, a term onwards, including wire reporters, which will have access to President Trump in small events spaces.
It is the last important change in the press group that receives unique access to the president, with the alignment that influences the issues raised with the heaviest man in the world, which responded to more than 1,000 consulting hatcheries, in environments only for the pool
“The pool composition reflects much more the habits of the media of the American people in 2025,” said a tall White House official to the post. “The white house policy continues based on justice for all points of sale that wish to cover the White House.”
The American District Judge of DC, Trevor McFadden, last week ordered the restoration of the AP to the press group, after the week of exclusion about the refusal of the editors to update the AP -style book to refer to the body of water that extends from Florida to Texp as “Gulf of America” that it presents.
The McFadden failure contained an obvious escape that said that the AP “cannot be treated worse than its pear wire services”, which means that the end of the special access for all cables can pass the legal meeting.
For decades, three cables, AP, Reuters and Bloomberg, they were given access to all presidential events in smaller places, such as the Oval Office, while journalists for the main newspapers, magazines and websites that comprise the “printed” Roth pool, one month of entry.
There are currently 31 points in the print rotation, which means that there would be 34 with the cables included.
The two places for printed reporters could almost double the number of events in which the main print media are admitted, while drastically decrease opportunities for cable services.
It is not clear if the new composition will also be reflected in the travel pools that bind to Trump aboard Air Force One, for which the media must pay substantial amounts of money per flight.
The fight between the AP and the White House on Trump’s renewed of the Gulf of Mexico has overturned long -standing policies in the press pool.
The White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on February 25 that the target would mean that it would assume direct control of the group’s composition, which he had controlled during the legs of the generations controlled by the Association of correspondents of the White House (WHCA).
The WHCA currently retains other powers granted the defense of the previous administrations, including control in the 49 seats of the assigned information room.
Automatic access of the three cables had already been reduced for more than a month, with limited access to a rotation point per day, with the exclusion of the AP.
The White House Press Office has presented ITELF as more transparent and inclusive with his criticism despite the reforms of press freedom and professional speeches groups about his action against Associated Press.
The Administration has established a new 50 seat for journalists in the Information Room of the White House for “New Media”, including a variety of conventional news websites, conservative journalists and personalities of social networks with great followers.
In addition, a separate place of “new media” has bone added to the daily pool along with a new secondary television rotation that includes the main channels and conservative inclination to complement the historic television rotation of “five families” or NBC.
Leavitt, at his first press conference, announced plans to restore around 400 “hard passes” for journalists who were revoked by the Biden administration as part of an effort to expel the journalist Simon Africa, who frequently spoke.
ATEBA himself has not recovered his press badge and has extended last year that he could not access the White House land due to what a secret service official says that it is a matter of request “that it was not a” political decision of the staff of the current or previous administration. “
The issue of access to the press has been a career battle through republican and democratic administrations.
In 2013, Obama’s White House faced a photographer’s revolt after safe to independent cameramen and, instead, delivered flattering photos of the commander in chief in the events.
Meanwhile, the White House of Biden devoured a new recipe process for journalists allowed in large spaces of events that the historical were open to all journalists on the campus, at one time, except the position, the oldest and oldest continues seven paper, Fromy Newpaper.
