The White House is moving forward with plans to create a new seating chart for the briefing room, which has traditionally been managed by the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA). This restructuring reflects changing media consumption metrics and aims to balance access to significant media outlets while potentially reducing visibility for some. Critics, including the WHCA president, argue this action threatens press independence by allowing the administration to dictate which journalists cover the White House, raising concerns about media freedom in the U.S.
The White House's decision to implement its own seating chart for the briefing room aims to reshape access based on media consumption metrics, stirring backlash from traditional outlets.
The administration's restructuring of the briefing room, according to a senior official, seeks to ensure an 'honest look' at media consumption while balancing disruption with responsibility.
