The White House says the administration of President Donald Trump will decide which media outlets will be allowed access to the president.

Currently, journalists with the White House Correspondents' Association take turns 

covering the president in the Oval Office, aboard Air Force One and at other events.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Tuesday, 

"A select group of DC-based journalists should no longer have a monopoly over the privilege of press access at the White House."

 "Moving forward, the White House press pool will be determined by the White House press team."

"Legacy media outlets will still participate in the pool, but new voices are going to be welcomed in as well.“

The White House Correspondents' Association issued a statement saying, "This move tears at the independence of a free press in the United States," and that "In a free country, leaders must not be able to choose their own press corps.

I guess,

This administration’s move is very interesting.

I don’t agree with WHCA’s statement.

Normally, it’s wrong that The WHCA has a "monopoly" on controlling the pool.

Legacy media outlets have  never allowed new media outlets - including streaming services and podcasts - to participate the pool.
