The White House has received more than 7,000 applications for press passes after press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Tuesday that the West Wing would open the briefing room up to members of the “new media,” The Hill has learned.
Leavitt, during her first briefing with reporters this week, said President Trump is ready to retool the administration around what she called “the new media landscape,” including independent content creators, podcasters, social influencers and others in nontraditional media.
“As long as you are creating news content of the day and are a legitimate independent journalist, you are welcome to cover this White House,” she said.
