Trump Team Considers Replacing Mainstream Media in White House Press Room

Donald Trump Jr. revealed discussions about introducing podcasters and independent media to the White House Briefing Room, potentially displacing traditional outlets.

Donald Trump Jr. shared on his podcast that he and his father discussed opening White House press briefings to podcasters and independent journalists.
Figures like Joe Rogan and other non-traditional media personalities were mentioned as potential additions to the press room lineup.
The proposed changes could reduce or eliminate seats for legacy outlets like The New York Times, which Trump Jr. criticized for alleged bias against his father.
The White House Correspondents' Association, which traditionally assigns seats in the press room, may face challenges if the Trump administration attempts to implement these changes.
During his campaign, President-elect Trump leveraged podcast appearances to reach large audiences, including a high-profile interview with Joe Rogan that garnered millions of views.
