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.
What the coverage shows
NBC News is the only outlet here focused on the briefing itself, saying Katie Zacharia stuck close to prepared remarks and called on three reporters. AP, The Hill and The Independent instead frame the story around questions about her background and qualifications, with The Independent alone specifying a California State Bar complaint. The Guardian US is the clear outlier, publishing a sharply opinionated profile rather than a straight news report.
