The Trump White House has signaled a commitment to media freedom by restoring press passes revoked during the previous administration and opening the press briefing room to new media outlets. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt prioritized giving the floor to previously excluded voices, including those from Breitbart News. Leavitt emphasized the importance of representing diverse news consumption platforms and encouraged all legitimate journalists to apply for press credentials.
Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle had the opportunity to ask one of the first questions at the first White House press briefing of the new administration, as the Trump White House made it clear that it is restoring press passes to journalists revoked during the previous administration and opening up the briefing room to new media voices.
“As I said in my opening statement, Matt, it is a priority of this White House to honor the First Amendment,” Leavitt said. “And it is a fact that Americans are consuming their news media from various different platforms, especially young people. And as the youngest press secretary in history, thanks to President Trump, I take great pride in opening up this room to new media voices to share the President’s message with as many Americans as possible.
Boyle also asked Leavitt if Americans can expect to see this warp speed of actions taken by President Trump to continue into the first 100 days.
