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

The coverage splits between the briefing itself and the questions surrounding Katie Zacharia. NBC News is the only outlet here to foreground the first briefing, saying she kept it short, stuck to prepared remarks and called on three reporters; 60 Minutes also mentions her debut and says critics called it awkward and stilted. Most of the other outlets focus instead on scrutiny over her lawyer claim, with CNN, AP, The New York Times and one Independent item all leading on that angle, while The Guardian US and another Independent piece take a more sharply critical or political framing.
