The White House has put forward a new media policy that sharply curtails access to Donald Trump by the news agencies that serve media outlets around the world.
The White House is implementing a new media policy that significantly restricts access for wire service photographers, replacing them with official photographs taken by White House photographers during key events. This change, effective immediately, means that news organizations will no longer have independent visual coverage of important moments, such as meetings with foreign leaders or bill signings. Instead, they will rely on images provided by the White House, which has raised concerns about transparency and the potential for the administration to control the narrative through selective imagery. The decision has been met with criticism from media outlets and press freedom advocates, who argue that it undermines the public's right to see unfiltered events and could set a dangerous precedent for future administrations.
