Washington Week with The Atlantic

How the media covers the president

9m 23s

Candidate Trump showed a particular aversion to the national press corps assigned to cover him, but how will President Trump interact with reporters? And will the president-elect follow past precedent and have a protective pool of reporters with him at all times? In the past, such a pool of journalists has helped capture historical events like the September 11 attacks.

Aired: 11/24/16
