The Trump White House is making waves by expanding its press briefings to include independent journalists, podcasters, and social media influencers, even reserving a front-row seat for new media voices.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced this change, citing the declining trust in traditional media as a driving factor.
The move is seen as a continuation of Trump's strategy during his 2024 campaign to bypass legacy media and connect directly with audiences.
While supporters view it as a necessary shift towards media diversity, critics fear it could lead to favoritism and undermine accountability.
As public reactions roll in, the question remains: is this a step forward for the media, or a risky new path?
