Trump’s new White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, keeps first briefing short
Zacharia, a conservative commentator, stuck close to prepared remarks in her first outing at the podium. She called on three reporters, all from conservative outlets.
Associated Press
What the coverage shows
Most outlets converge on Zacharia’s debut briefing being very short, with Reuters, NBC News, the AP and The Hill all putting it at about 14 minutes and NBC News calling it unusually short. Several outlets also foreground the news she made there, especially CNN, PBS NewsHour, the AP and 60 Minutes, which all say she announced that the White House asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign. Framing diverges around the briefing’s tone and implications: NBC News, CNN, The Hill and the Independent stress awkwardness or criticism, while BBC News and Al Jazeera stay more straightforwardly descriptive.
