White House Press Corps
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
White House press corps or White House press pool, the group of journalists or correspondents usually stationed at the White House to cover White House press briefings and press releases.
The press briefings take place in the the White House Press Room. There is no equivalent to the British Parliament's press gallery at the White House, either as the name of a place or a group of journalists, although at the U.S. Capitol journalists do occupy galleries of their own in the chambers of the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives. Journalists who specialize in covering the upper and lower house of the U.S. Congress are known as congressional correspondents
Press briefings are usually led by the White House Press Secretary.
