The Trump administration aims to attract Americans who do not rely on so-called "old White House news coverage" for information to gain "new media" seats in the White House to attract press conferences.

The “new media” seat is the creativity of press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who believes that traditional media coverage of the White House is essentially monopolistic. No one takes up the seats because the designated seat to the right of the podium is a White House staff or guests traditionally sit on James S. Brady (James S.

Today, seats are filled with new and emerging voices, who are often introduced by Leavitt and then asked to ask the first question of the briefing, which was traditionally provided to the Associated Press under previous administration.

Some of the crew members of the "new media" seats, such as Mike Allen of Axios and Mark Halperin of 2way, are DC insiders who currently work in upstart organizations, while others, such as "Unbiased Podcast" host Jordan Berman, don't sniff in a briefing room under previous government leadership.

Assistant Media Secretary Taylor Rogers told Fox News, Taylor Rogers told Fox News, and Assistant Secretary Taylor Rogers told Fox News Digital that the inclusive charm of traditional media has been resisted to allow the press room to enter the press room.

The “new media” seats have also been criticized, mostly from heritage channels, with some crew members being criticized for causing softball issues in briefings or raving about Levitt and the president. But White House insiders believe negative coverage of the new voice proves that traditional channels are afraid to give up control of the briefing room.

Cruel podcast co-host John Ashbrook took the seat in January and asked Leavitt if the old media had lost contact with the border crisis. Despite what he calls the “eye roll and giggle” of traditional journalists, he plays an outsider role in the briefing room.

"When they had to write down the news, every dirty look in the old media was wiped out."

While Ashbrook used his leading questions to criticize the press, other "new media" seat residents asked about topics such as trans athletes, artificial intelligence, economy and foreign policy.

"Timcast IRL" host Tim Pool has been one of the more polarized occupants in the seat. When the swimming pool was announced as seat holder last month, mainstream journalists quickly criticized the move.

New York Times reporter Ken Bensinger reminded his followers on X that the pool was tied to a Tennessee media company that was accused of receiving money from Russia (Pool denied any misconduct), and USA Today reporters made problems with its iconic Beanie Cap.

Pool, who has 2.4 million followers on X, said he has noticed the “Snooty Looks” and “despise” of some traditional journalists because of his presence on social media after the opportunity.

"Everything they did in that newsroom was locked on each other, and everyone reported the same falsehood, the same angle, the same operation. There was no curiosity. The questions they asked were predictable. But if someone wanted to come in, it was a whip, it was a whip, it was an attack, it was an attack, it was an attack, it was a girl in high school.

Poole said White House journalists from liberals were largely uncurious or deliberately concealed facts and details to promote political ideology during the Biden administration. He was glad that Leavitt wavered everything, providing a break from the "artificial confrontational issue" raised by the Freedom Journalist during the Biden administration.

"There needs to be created in the news field so that we don't get the same worldview from every journalist," Poole said. "Naturally, they're dissatisfied with the game. But all I've seen is that as new media figures develop, they're largely on the other side of the political spectrum, but even then they don't quite agree with everything."

“I do think it’s a big step for new voices with different perspectives, and it’s what diversity should mean,” he continued. “It’s an honor and privilege.”

"New Media" seats are also made by Andrew Egger of Fort, Matt Boyle of Breitbart, podcaster sage steele, Chris Pavlovski of rumble, John Stoll of X, Shelbor's Shelbor's Shelbor's Shelbor's Shelbor's Shelbor's Mary Margaret olohan Lyndsay Keith, Notus Reporter Jasmine Wright, Washington Matthew Foldi of Reporter, Brendan Pedersen of Punchbowl and Chris Bedford, correspondent of Blaze Media, among others.

Journalists from outlets such as AP, CNN, REUTERS, ABC, CBS, NBC, NAD, USA Today, New York Times, NPR, Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal and Fox News allocated seats at the White House press conference, while journalists from smaller media followed the smaller exit beside the crowded rooms.

Leavitt explains why she took another approach to the media in the appearance of "Hannity" on May 5.

"This is because President Trump has completely changed the way the media and Americans consume media. He started the campaign when he opened up his campaign to social media influencers and podcasts, and he was willing to take that non-traditional media route. We have continued this effort at the White House."

Former Obama media secretary Jay Carney even praised Leavitt for making changes to White House news operations.

"I think it's important to recognize that the media landscape has changed, bringing new voices and getting rid of everything," Carney said at a Rokk Solutions event last month when asked about the new media seats.

“I think it’s admirable,” Carney continued. “Everyone can learn from it.”
