White House to Take Direct Control of Daily Press Pool Composition

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on Tuesday that President Trump’s administration will now have direct control over the composition of the daily press pool. This decision comes after a court ruling in favor of excluding the Associated Press for two weeks.

Leavitt emphasized the need for the White House press operation to reflect the media landscape of 2025 and not that of 1925. The move aims to provide access to a broader range of journalists, rather than a select group of DC-based reporters.

The decision to control the press pool composition is seen as a way to give power back to the American people, according to Leavitt. However, some journalists have expressed concerns over the implications of this move.

Federal Judge Trevor McFadden’s ruling denied the AP’s request to be reinstated in the pool following a dispute over naming conventions.

While the White House Correspondents’ Association has historically played a significant role in determining press pool composition, Leavitt’s announcement marks a shift in this dynamic. Association president Eugene Daniels criticized the move, stating that it undermines the independence of a free press in the United States.

Despite the change, the administration will continue to provide access to major TV outlets and maintain dedicated slots for radio representatives. Leavitt also mentioned that legacy media outlets will still be part of the pool, alongside new voices that have been previously excluded.

The composition of the press pool traditionally includes news wires like the AP, Reuters, and Bloomberg, as well as rotating representatives from print, radio, and TV outlets. Changes in the pool composition could have a significant impact on how news is reported from the White House.

Overall, the decision to take control of the press pool composition marks a significant shift in how the White House manages media access and coverage.
