"Sometimes presidents are press averse; Trump embraced the media, Collins said. He did it for decades as like this New York mogul, and so he just had a different approach to the press, and always has. Collins also said that, because Trump likes to take questions from the media, events that were once considered bland are now must-attend spectacles for the press."
"Collins said she now has to come to events ready with about 10 questions, rather than one or two like she did in the past, because all of Trump's events have a good chance of turning into marathon Q-and-A sessions. She added that is atypical for a president, even ones like Obama, who were good at playing the media game. When you speak to reporters who covered President Obama, he almost never responded to shouted questions. It just wasn't his thing, Collins said."
President Donald Trump demonstrates unusually high accessibility to the media and consistently engages with cameras and microphones. His willingness to take questions turns routine events into must-attend spectacles and creates the potential for impromptu press conferences. Reporters now often prepare many more questions in anticipation of lengthy Q&A sessions rather than the typical one or two queries. This level of accessibility contrasts with presidents who were less likely to respond to shouted questions, including those known for skillful media management. Significant press interactions occur in locations like the Oval Office and the White House briefing room.
