On Monday, Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, announced four ‘Skype seats’ will soon be available at press briefings.
He said of the addition, which is expected to be implemented later in the week, “This will open up the briefing to journalists who live beyond 50 miles of the Washington, DC area and to organizations that don’t currently have a hard pass…we’re excited to open up into the field and fold here a diverse group of journalists from around the country who may not have the convenience or funding to travel to Washington." Spicer continued, "I think this can benefit us all by giving a platform to voices that are not necessarily based here in the beltway.
It remains unclear how access to the four seats for remote participation will be requested or granted.
