News Blog C9-4: The Future of the Media Room

The Huffington Post wrote an article yesterday about the future for the media in the White House. An AP poll last April showed that a staggering six percent fully trust the media. The press room in the White House was remodeled t be what it is now from the old White House pool. It has also become the new home for critters like rats and cockroaches. All of this makes it seems that Donald Trump may get rid of the press room in the White House. After all only six percent of Americans fully believe in the media, but a number as small as six percent can be deceiving. Seven percent of the American population is on Twitter and as many may know by now President-Elect Donald Trump is quite active on Twitter. With Trump using Twitter using twitter to reach the American people some feel as to what purpose does the media have in the White House if the future President can do it from his desk. The reasoning is logistics. The press room is just a couple steps away from the Oval office but also the drive way for political guests is just right outside of the room as well. Based on these few reasons it is believed that the room will not go away because the business man that Trump is, he sees that space as valuable. He might place carrying rates on seats in the room so that news corporations would have to spend money to buy positions where they could be asked for questions.
