华盛顿讯——特朗普总统将CNN、MS NOW和POLITICO禁止进入白宫的举动，凸显了白宫记者团的作用。这是一个轮换制的记者团队，负责记录并传播总统每日的言行信息。
特朗普上周五宣布将终止这三家媒体的白宫采访权限，理由是它们“持续‘报道’假新闻！”。CNN、MS NOW和POLITICO周一联合提起诉讼，对这一禁令提出质疑，认为该禁令违反了第一修正案以及记者的正当程序权利。
他们已请求法院立即下令白宫恢复其记者的新闻采访资质和准入权限。针对该请求的听证会定于周三举行。
CNN是组成电视记者团的五大电视网之一，另外四家分别是CBS新闻、ABC新闻、NBC新闻和福克斯新闻。按照原计划，CNN本应作为记者团成员前往纽约，报道特朗普出席联合国大会的活动。但由于特朗普的禁令，CNN被取消了此次随行资格，其余四家电视网决定暂停整个电视记者团的活动，以声援CNN同事。
CBS新闻、ABC新闻、CNN、福克斯新闻和NBC新闻周一在一份声明中表示：“公众有权获取有关其政府的准确、独立信息。任何政府都不应因为反感某家新闻机构的报道而将其拒之门外。”
以下是关于白宫记者团你需要了解的内容：
什么是白宫记者团？
白宫记者团是一个每日轮换的记者团队，每天都会跟随总统进行报道。该团队由印刷媒体、通讯社和数字媒体记者、静态摄影师以及广播和电台记者组成，他们会向总统提问，撰写有关总统言行的简短快讯，并将信息分发到更大范围的白宫记者团，后者随后可将这些细节分享给公众。
由于部分场所，比如椭圆形办公室或空军一号，空间过小，无法容纳所有报道总统活动的记者，白宫记者团便充当了他们的耳目。记者团随总统在美国国内外出行，留下历史记录。
在白宫期间，记者团可能在任意一天进入椭圆形办公室或内阁会议室，记录特朗普举行会议、发表讲话或签署行政命令的过程。但当总统外出旅行时，一名外地随行记者会乘坐空军一号，陪同特朗普在佛罗里达州南部的度假村度周末、在全美各地举办活动、参加盟友峰会或在海外会见外国领导人。
在某些周末，记者团会搭乘大巴，随特朗普前往他在弗吉尼亚州的高尔夫球场，他们可能会在特朗普进出白宫时捕捉到他的身影。
据合众国际社记者梅里曼·史密斯的记述，1963年约翰·F·肯尼迪总统遇刺时，记者团成员就在达拉斯。枪击事件发生约六分钟后，载有记者团的车辆就抵达了医院。
2001年9月11日恐怖袭击发生时，白宫记者团也陪同乔治·W·布什总统。当天，一名隶属于更大记者团的小型记者团队陪同总统乘坐空军一号前往内布拉斯加州的奥夫特空军基地。
CNN首席政治记者达娜·巴什在接受《CBS晨间新闻》采访时回忆了随布什访华的经历，她表示第43任总统“非常重视新闻自由，不仅口头上强调，还通过让我们尽可能多地参与会议来展现其重要性”。
“他想向中国展示新闻自由是什么样的，以及它有多重要，”她说，“如今，我们的现任总统即将接待现任中国国家主席，而他却在封禁三家新闻网络之后才这么做。这会向中国，更不用说向世界各国传递什么信号？这关乎我们自身，但也关乎领导力。”
特朗普定于周四在白宫接待中国国家主席习近平。
组成记者团的记者会被要求在早上抵达白宫的“报到时间”，以开启一天的工作。白宫新闻团队随后会在当日结束时宣布“闭馆（lid）”，这通常意味着当天不会再有总统的活动可供记者团报道。
由谁决定哪些媒体机构可以加入记者团？
多年来，成立于1914年的白宫记者协会负责选拔加入记者团的新闻机构。但在2025年2月，白宫宣布其新闻办公室将选择参与记者团的组织。
这一变动发生在白宫表示将不再允许美联社进入椭圆形办公室或记者团之后，原因是美联社拒绝修改其编辑手册，将墨西哥湾称为“美国海湾”。特朗普去年签署了一项行政命令，要求更改这一名称。
美联社就失去采访权限提起诉讼，但联邦上诉法院去年裁定，白宫可以将美联社排除在椭圆形办公室和其他受限区域之外。诉讼仍在进行中。
自白宫开始决定哪些新闻机构可以加入每日轮换的记者团以来，几家规模较小的右翼组织开始参与其中。例如，周一，“真实美国之声”作为外地记者团成员随总统前往纽约，而播客节目“莱拉·罗斯秀”则作为本地记者团成员参与了活动。
目前，记者团每天的人员构成通常为：一名广播记者及摄制组、一名“二级”电视记者、三名印刷媒体、通讯社或“新媒体”记者、一名电台记者以及四名静态摄影师。
不过，电视记者团的构成并未改变，仍由五大电视网组成：CBS新闻、ABC新闻、NBC新闻、福克斯新闻和CNN。
记者团会传播哪些信息？
尽管记者团由十几名不同的记者组成，但并非所有人都负责撰写和发送他们随总统出席活动的快讯，供更广泛的记者团传播。
白宫接手决定哪些媒体可以加入记者团后，新增了“二级”电视和“新媒体”席位。这些媒体机构的记者可以向总统提问，并参加对记者团开放的活动。但他们不会拍摄或分发 footage，也不会向更广泛的记者团传播编辑内容。
印刷媒体记者团的成员包括《纽约时报》、《华尔街日报》、《每日邮报》和《每日来电者》等30多家机构，他们会将信息整理成电子邮件，分享给白宫记者协会成员，并由白宫新闻办公室转发。
有时，这些快讯内容可能平淡无奇，比如分享特朗普离开白宫并登上海军一号的确切时间。其他时候，它们可能包括总统在椭圆形办公室接受的提问和回答，或是镜头之外房间里的参会人员。
与此同时，指定的电台记者会将音频和编辑笔记分发给记者团中的电台同行。
对于组成电视记者团的五大广播网来说，摄制组会拍摄总统的画面，随后将其分发给电视记者团的其他成员以及他们的附属台和订阅用户。只有这些电视网建立并维护了从白宫以及随总统出行时向附属台传输画面的实体基础设施。
电视记者团的费用由谁承担？
新闻机构需承担其参与记者团的记者的费用，包括乘坐空军一号的旅费。媒体机构还需为记者团中的记者支付酒店、餐饮和其他交通费用。
电视网络还提供了安装在白宫的设备——摄像机、音频设备和传输基础设施——这些设备使总统的音频和视频内容能够传输给公众。
如果没有电视记者团的报道会发生什么？
周一，公众得以一睹没有电视记者团报道总统活动的场景。
特朗普出席了白宫南草坪新直升机停机坪的剪彩仪式。虽然白宫的视频画面显示总统站在建筑工人中间，但由于没有电视记者团的麦克风，观众完全无法听清他的讲话，只能听到直升机的轰鸣声。
What is the White House press pool and how does it work?

Sara Cook is a White House producer and multi-platform reporter for CBS News. She has covered three presidential campaigns and the Obama, Biden, and Trump administrations.
Washington — President Trump’s move to ban CNN, MS NOW and POLITICO from the White House has highlighted the role of the press pool, a rotating group of reporters tasked with documenting and distributing information about what the president does and says each day.
Mr. Trump announced Friday that he would be cutting off the three outlets’ access to the White House, citing what he said was their “constant ‘reporting’ FAKE NEWS!” CNN, MS NOW and POLITICO jointly filed a lawsuit challenging the move Monday, arguing that the ban violated the First Amendment and their reporters’ due process rights.
They’ve asked the court to immediately order the White House to restore their journalists’ press credentials and access. A hearing on their request is set for Wednesday.
CNN is one of five television networks — with CBS News, ABC News, NBC News and Fox News — that make up the TV pool and was supposed to travel to New York as part of the pool to cover Mr. Trump’s attendance at the United Nations General Assembly. But with CNN kicked off the trip because of the president’s ban, the four other networks decided to suspend the TV pool altogether in solidarity with CNN colleagues.
CBS News, ABC News, CNN, Fox News and NBC News said in a statement Monday, “The public has a vital interest in receiving accurate, independent information about its government. No administration should reject a news organization because it objects to its reporting.”
Here is what to know about the White House press pool:
What is the White House press pool?
The press pool is a group of journalists that rotates daily and covers the president every day. The pool is made up of print, wire, and digital reporters, still photographers, and broadcast and radio journalists who ask the president questions, compose short dispatches about what he does and says, and disseminate information to the broader White House press corps, which can then share those details with the public.
Because some spaces, like the Oval Office or Air Force One, are too small to accommodate all of the reporters who cover the president, the press pool serves as their eyes and ears. The pool travels with the president in the U.S. and abroad, providing a historical record.
At the White House, the pool may on any given day head into the Oval Office or the Cabinet Room when Mr. Trump holds meetings, delivers remarks or signs executive orders. But when the president is traveling, an out-of-town pool flies on Air Force One and accompanies Mr. Trump when he spends weekends at his South Florida resort, holds events across the country, attends summits with allies or meets with foreign leaders overseas.
On some weekends, the pool will load into vans and travel with Mr. Trump to his golf course in Virginia, where they may catch glimpses of him as he exits and enters the White House.
Pool reporters were in Dallas when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, and a car carrying the group arrived at the hospital roughly six minutes after shots were fired, according to an account from Merriman Smith of United Press International.
The press pool was also with President George W. Bush on Sept. 11, 2001, and a small group of reporters who were part of the broader pool that day went with the president on Air Force One to Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska in the wake of the terror attacks.
Dana Bash, CNN chief political correspondent, recalled in an interview with “CBS Mornings” traveling with Bush to China and said the 43rd president made “such a big deal about freedom of the press and showing, not just saying, but showing how important it was by having us in as many meetings as he could.”
“He wanted to show China what it is like and how important it is,” she said. “Now here we are and the current president is about to host the current Chinese leader and he is going to do so after having banned three news networks. What does that tell the Chinese, never mind countries around the world? It’s about us, but it’s also about leadership.”
Mr. Trump is set to host Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House on Thursday.
Reporters who make up the pool are given a “call time” for when they must arrive at the White House in the morning to start the day. White House press staff then announce a “lid” at the end of the day, which typically signals when there will not be any more movements or appearances by the president for the pool to cover.
Who decides which outlets are in the pool?
For years, the White House Correspondents’ Association, which was created in 1914, selected the news outlets that served in the pool. But in February 2025, the White House announced that its press office would choose the organizations participating in the pool.
The change came after the White House said it would no longer allow the Associated Press in the Oval Office or the press pool after the wire service declined to revise its Stylebook to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America. Mr. Trump signed an executive order last year directing the name change.
The AP sued over its loss of access, but a federal appeals court said last year that the White House could keep the wire service out of the Oval Office and other restricted spaces. The litigation is ongoing.
Since the White House started deciding which news outlets would be part of the daily pool rotation, several smaller, right-leaning organizations have begun participating. On Monday, for example, Real America’s Voice was part of the out-of-town pool that traveled with the president to New York, and
“The Lila Rose Show,” a podcast, was part of the in-town pool.
Now, on any given day, the pool currently consists of one broadcast correspondent and crew, a “secondary” television correspondent, three print, wire, or “new media” reporters, a radio journalist and four still photographers.
The makeup of the television pool has not changed, though, and is still composed of five networks: CBS News, ABC News, NBC News, Fox News and CNN.
What kind of information is disseminated by the pool?
While the pool consists of more than a dozen different journalists, not all are responsible for writing and sending dispatches from events they attend with the president to be distributed to the press corps more widely.
When the White House took over responsibility for deciding which outlets could be part of the pool, it added “secondary” television and “new media” slots. The reporters working for those outlets may ask questions of the president and attend events open to the pool. But they do not shoot or distribute footage, or disseminate editorial material to the broader press corps.
Reporters in the print pool, which includes over 30 outlets like the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, the Daily Mail and the Daily Caller, will compile information into emails that are shared with White House Correspondents’ Association members and passed along by the White House press office.
Sometimes, these pool reports may be mundane, like when they share the exact time Mr. Trump left the White House and boarded Marine One. Other times, they include questions asked of the president in the Oval Office and his answers, or who was in the room but out of view of the television cameras.
The designated radio pooler, meanwhile, distributes audio and editorial notes to radio colleagues in the press corps.
For the five broadcast networks that make up the television pool, crews will capture footage of the president that is then distributed to the other members of the TV pool and their affiliates and subscribers. Only these networks have set up and maintained the physical infrastructure to transmit footage from the White House and when traveling with the president to affiliates.
Who covers the cost of expenses for the TV pool?
News organizations pay the expenses for their reporters participating in the pool, including for travel aboard Air Force One. Media outlets also foot the bill for hotels, food and other transportation for their journalists in the pool.
The television networks also provided the machinery — cameras, audio equipment, and transmission infrastructure — installed at the White House that allows audio and video of the president to be transmitted to the public.
What happens when there is no TV pool coverage?
The public got a glimpse Monday of what it looks like when there is no television pool to cover the president.
Mr. Trump participated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new helipad on the White House South Lawn. While video footage from the White House showed the president flanked by construction workers, without the television pool mics, viewers couldn’t hear his remarks at all over the sound of the helicopter.
