Social Media Influencers Join White House Briefings

The Trump administration is opening White House press briefings to 'new media,' including podcasters, influencers, and independent creators.

Led by 27-year-old Karoline Leavitt, the youngest-ever Press Secretary, the move aims to expand media access in the digital age.

A ‘New Media Seat’ will be introduced, and applications for press credentials are open via whitehouse.gov/newmedia. Leavitt also pledged to reinstate press passes for 440 journalists previously revoked.
