Part 4/6:
Following the ruling, Caroline Levitt, a spokesperson for the White House, expressed satisfaction with the court's decision. She reiterated the stance that access to intimate spaces such as the Oval Office should be considered a privilege, not a right. Levitt highlighted the administration's commitment to diversifying media representation in the White House, signaling a shift in policy towards including a broader array of journalists beyond traditional outlets.
Levitt emphasized that the legacy media’s longstanding control over press access would be reevaluated. She stated that more deserving outlets, particularly those that demonstrate a commitment to accurate reporting, would be welcomed into the briefing room and have the opportunity to cover the presidency more comprehensively.
