NY Times - The Trump administration said on Tuesday that it would start handpicking which media outlets were allowed to participate in the presidential press pool, the small, rotating group of reporters who relay the president’s day-to-day activities to the public.
The change breaks decades of precedent. It allows the White House to assert more control over which journalists can witness his activities up-close and ask him questions.
The White House Correspondents’ Association, a 111-year-old group representing journalists who cover the administration, has long determined on its own which reporters would participate in the daily pool.
