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
CBS News and NBC News both focus on Katie Bailey’s new role in the White House legislative apparatus, but they frame it differently. CBS leads with her being tapped as legislative director and notes only in the extract that she already serves as special assistant to the president and deputy director of legislative affairs. NBC instead describes the move as Trump announcing Bailey to lead White House outreach to Congress and, uniquely in its extract, says she will be the liaison between the administration and Congress.
