Press secretary Karoline Leavitt held her first White House briefing earlier this week. She wasted no time announcing changes to the briefing room. On Monday, Leavitt revealed that seating for "new media voices who produce news-related content" will be available

"New media" seeking expanded access to White House press passes include highly popular podcasters, independent journalists, and social media influencers.

The Trump administration is reworking media access at the White House, opening the door to influencers, bloggers and podcasters as part of a new strategy to include less traditional media voices in the briefing room.
