Jeff Mason: ‘Important’ for the Press Poll to Have Access Whether It’s Physical or to Press Conferences

RUSH EXCERPT:

MASON: "There is always some tension between the press and the white House. That is going to continue regardless of who has won an between the press and the white House. That is going to continue regardless of who has won an election. But yeah, any administration is going to try and form its own communication strategy, whether that is with Twitter and social media, which we have now or cutting off reporters at the beginning of the Clinton administration from walking into what we call lower and upper press in the White House which they backtracked on. It’s important for us to have access whether that is physical, able to walk into the press secretary’s office or whether it’s just having access to press conferences or a chance to talk to senior officials on air force one when they come back and brief the press in major events."
