Karoline Leavitt shocks legacy reporters by ending decades of special access

A major shift in press access is underway as White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announces that the White House will now control reporter access instead of the Correspondents’ Association. This could reshape media representation and inclusivity in political reporting. The move sparks discussions about the potential for new voices to emerge, but also raises concerns about partisanship and the overall future of journalism. This announcement could change the dynamics of political briefings as we know them.
