Reports indicate that the White House is close to unveiling a new seating arrangement for the briefing room—a change that might see some major outlets lose their traditional front-row spots as more MAGA-friendly allies are being added in the room.
Axios noted that the administration plans to establish and enforce its seating chart, a role that the journalist-led White House Correspondents’ Association has managed for decades.
An unnamed person described by Axios as a senior White House official told the news outlet that the Trump administration is aiming for a “fundamental restructuring of the briefing room, based on metrics more reflective of how media is consumed today.”
