White House opens Press Briefing Room to New Media voices, like Axios and Breitbart – The Economic Times Video

In her first media briefing as White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt announced a significant change in press access. Seats that were traditionally reserved for administration staff will now be made available to “new media voices,” including podcasters and social media influencers. This decision reflects the administration’s recognition that a growing number of Americans are seeking news from nontraditional outlets. Additionally, Leavitt reinstated press passes for individuals whose access had been revoked during the Biden presidency.
