Part 5/6:
New Moves in White House Media Access
Levitt further detailed a forthcoming transformation in how the White House Press pool will be organized. The administration intends to expand opportunities for various media types, including independent journalists, podcasters, and local radio hosts. This change aims to ensure that a wider range of voices can participate in covering the presidency, allowing for increased representation of what she termed "well-suited" outlets.
As part of this overhaul, traditional cable news networks will still maintain access, but they will share the space with new media entities. This initiative reflects an ongoing interest in an evolving media landscape, where alternative platforms can provide coverage alongside established news organizations.
