What the coverage shows

The coverage splits between Katie Zacharia’s debut briefing and a separate court fight over White House press access. NBC News, BBC News, PBS NewsHour and The Independent focus on the briefing itself, with NBC and the BBC calling it very brief, PBS emphasizing Kimberly Guilfoyle’s exit being announced there, and The Independent alone sharply criticizing the event. By contrast, Axios, Reason, The Hill, CBS News, NBC News and CNBC center the judge’s order keeping CNN, MS NOW and Politico in the White House while the lawsuit continues.
