White House denies access to Reuters, HuffPost and Der Tagesspiegel

The White House on Wednesday denied journalists from Reuters and other news organizations access to President Donald Trump’sfirst Cabinet Controlet according to the administration’s new policy on media coverage.

The White House refused access to an Associated Press photographer and three journalists from Reuters, HuffPost and Der Tagesspiegel, a German newspaper.

Television crews from ABC and Newsmax, along with Axios, Blaze, Bloomberg News and NPR correspondents were able to cover the event.

On Tuesday, the Trump administration announced that the White House would determine which media would cover the president in smaller spaces such as the Oval Office.

The White House correspondent Association has traditionally coordinated the rotation of the Presidential Group. Reuters, an international cable agency, has participated in the pool for decades.

White Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that while traditional media organizations will still be allowed to cover Trump daily, the administration plans to change who participates in smaller spaces.

The pool system, which is managed by WHCA, has allowed the selection of television, radio, cables, printing and photojournalists to cover the events and share their references with the wider means.

The three cable services traditionally served as permanent members of the White House pool, AP, Bloomberg and Reuters published a statement on Wednesday in response to the new policy.

Services “have long worked to ensure that accurate, fair and timely presidency information is communicated to a wide audience of all political beliefs, both in the United States and worldwide. Much of the White House is seeing local news agencies, where they come from the world,” Organizations.

“It is necessary in a democracy for the public to access news about their government from an independent, free press.”

Huffpost called on the White House decision violating the right of the first amendment to freedom of the press. On Tuesday, Whca also issued a statement complaining about the new White House policy.

The move follows Trump’s administration’s decision to prevent the Associated Press from being in the pool because it has refused to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, the Trump name has assigned the body of water or widely updating the Stylebook to reflect such a change.

Leavitt said that the five major television cable and broadcasting networks would continue to keep the rotating seats in the pool, while the White House will add streaming services. Rotating printing journalists and radio journalists will continue to be included, and new stores and radio hosts will be added.
