News outlets boycott White House pool over Trump press bans

Original: In response to President Trump's White House ban of CNN, MSNOW and Politico, other major news outlets declined pool cove

After President Trump's White House banned CNN, MSNOW and Politico from coverage, other major news outlets refused to take part in pool coverage of his South Lawn helipad ribbon-cutting ceremony. The coordinated move is being read as a show of solidarity with the barred outlets and raises fresh questions about press access to the president. The White House has so far defended its restrictions on the three organisations.

Why now: A rare coordinated refusal by news outlets to cover a presidential event has escalated the confrontation over White House press access.
