Katie Zacharia tapped as next White House press secretary
Katie Zacharia, a former Department of Homeland Security spokesperson, will be the next White House press secretary, President Trump said Friday. The big picture: Zacharia will take over the podium from Karoline Leavitt, a Trump loyalist who announced her departure from the administration in August.
What the coverage shows
Most outlets converge on Katie Zacharia being chosen as the next White House press secretary, with NBC News, CNBC, Axios, Washington Post and CBS all framing it as an appointment to replace Karoline Leavitt. The differences are mostly in emphasis: NBC calls her a conservative commentator, CNBC says she was offered the role, Axios identifies her as a former DHS spokesperson, and CBS quotes Trump praising her as “loyal.” The Washington Post alone adds that Leavitt departed in August after giving birth.
