The White House released new requirements Friday outlining which journalists are allowed in the briefing room and presidential events, and warning about unprofessional behavior.
The new rules require journalists to submit a letter to gain access to the White House grounds with information about their employment, mandating that reporters work for “an organization whose principal business is news dissemination.”
The rule change comes as the administration has been facing repeated outbursts in the briefing room from reporters like Simon Ateba, and comes days after World Press Freedom Day. Journalists have called out White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for not giving fair representation in the briefing room and the Biden administration has faced criticism from the press corps over unfair access to White House events.
All current “hard passes,” which are used to gain access to the White House grounds and press briefings, will expire July 31.
The letter requires reporters to submit their physical address, a statement saying they have accessed the White House in the last six months and cover the White House “on a regular basis,” as well as proof of “accreditation by a press gallery in either the Supreme Court, U.S. Senate or U.S. House of Representatives.”
Reporters will also have to state they have the willingness “to submit to any necessary investigation by the U.S. Secret Service to determine eligibility for access to the White House complex, where Secret Service will determine eligibility based on whether the applicant presents a potential risk to the safety or security of the President, the Vice President, or the White House complex.”
The guidelines include a provision stating that journalists who have access to the White House maintain a “professional manner,” and not impede “events or briefings” on campus. Violators face the possibility of suspension.

Mr President
Mr President
What is your favorite pudding flavor!
Freedom of the press is gone without a fight from the “press”.
The current media is merely the Chickapin Monkey to the corporate Hurdy-Gurdy machine.
When Trump banned a reporter, the courts said they has a right to be there. He tried.
Trump did, but a Federal judge overruled him. Don’t hold your breath for a Federal judge to overule this White House.
Well that eliminates all the journalists that work for anyone but Newsmax or OAN.
uhhhh Jim Acosta anybody?
Briefing Room = Room 101
That angry African must be a security risk.
So, the politicians want to define what qualifications and experience a person has to have to be a journalist.
I’m sure they will be huge supporters of Michele OBlame-O if she decided to run for president. Because she has SO so much experience in public office. Well, she did have sex with a president so that’s enough. (By that standard Monica Lewinski should be a leading candidate.)
You mean like asking real questions?
Obama did the same thing. Only media types that agree with him were allowed. And the media willingly complied.
😎👍
Why is every piece of ground today called a “campus”?
= = =
So you can ‘lock it down’, fence and all.
IOW, no criticism is allowed in the People’s Republic of Amerika.
"It's an attack on the First Ame- wait, no, a Democrat is in the White House."
This is an escalation from when the WH prestitude corps ostracized the lady from OANN, Chanel Rion. Now the CJP is going to take away Ducey’s seat.
Let me guess, Peter Doocy is at the top of the list.
