The Briefing Room: Sourcing

Rethinking what it means to cover the White House has been one of the biggest challenges for mainstream political reporters in the era of a reality-TV star president. In this session, we’ll look at his inner and ever-widening outer circles and discuss sourcing in the Trump administration. Aides come and go, but for the most part they’re never really gone.

Guests: Carol Lee, National Political Reporter, NBC News; Joshua Green, Columnist, Bloomberg Businessweek and Author of “Devil’s Bargain”; Michael Schmidt, Washington Correspondent, New York Times
