White House changed 111 year old tradition, Trump will be able to ask any journalist questions

Donald Trump Decision: The White House in the US has changed the 111 -year -old tradition. Now only those journalists will be able to ask questions from Trump who want to ask questions to him. Now the press secretary will decide which journalists will ask questions and which are not. This decision will affect international media agencies. In addition, Reuters and Bloomberg were removed from the press pool in the new policy. The associated press was also removed from the White House Press Pool. Apart from this, the press pool now includes podcasters, content creators and social media affected people.

White House Press Secretary Caroline Lewitt said that his team will now select members of the press pool on a daily basis. He said that its aim is to convey the message of President Donald Trump to the right people and to make experts of each issue a place in the press pool. Lewitt said that podcasters, social media affected and news material makers will also be given opportunities in the press pool.

The White House has changed its media policy. In the new policy, international news agencies like Reuters, Bloomberg and Associated Press have been excluded from the White House Press Pool. These news agencies will no longer get any permanent place in the press pool. The White House Press Pool is a group of about 10 media organizations. Which also includes journalists and photographers. These people cover every small and big activity of the President. Other media organizations depend on the media organizations involved in the press pool for coverage related to the President.

After this change in policy, it will now be very difficult for international media organizations to reach the US President. Reacting to the decision of the White House, international media organizations said that this is an attempt to control press coverage, affecting independent journalism and freedom of expression. Under the new policy, the press secretary of the White House Caroline Lewitt will now decide which journalist or media organization can ask questions to President Donald Trump. This policy will also apply to the White House Oval Office, Press Briefing Room and the President’s special aircraft ‘Air Force One’.

Eisenhower launched the press pool in 1953.
The White House Press Pool was started in the 1950s by the 34th President of the United States Dwight D. Eisenhwar. The incident occurred during the tenure of Eisenhwar. The crowd of journalists started growing at the White House to cover the President. To deal with this, a group of 10 journalists or media organizations were formed, named Press Pool. This means that only journalists included in the press pool were allowed to enter the White House Press Briefing, Oval Office (US President’s office) and Air Force One. The White House Correspondent Association (WHCA) was responsible for deciding which media houses or journalists would be in the press pool.

The White House also changed the 111 -year -old tradition.
The White House Correspondents Association is an independent organization of journalists. It was established in the year 1914. The rest of the media organizations depend on these news agencies for updates, photos, videos and audio related to the US President. WHCA was given the responsibility of selection of journalists or media organizations involved in the press pool so that the White House could not select journalists in a partisan manner and everyone could get fair information. That is, it was the responsibility of WHCA to ensure that no chairman would only include his favorite media organizations or journalists in the press pool. However, the role of this 111 year old organization is now over.

Content creators will now get a place in the press pool.
White House Press Secretary Caroline Lewitt said that his team will now select members of the press pool on a daily basis. He said that its aim is to convey the message of President Donald Trump to the right people and to make experts of each issue a place in the press pool. Lewitt said that podcasters, social media affected and news material makers will also be given opportunities in the press pool. He said that this would bring more diversity in the press pool. This decision of the White House is considered to be an attack on the freedom of the press. News agencies like AP, Reuters and Bloomberg said, ‘Our news reaches billions of people every day. This move of the government will eliminate people’s right to choose their source for independent and accurate information.
