On The Other Hand: Trump & The Reporters

Adria Botella

In The Moment ... August 29, 2019 Show 648 Hour 1

President Donald Trump has changed how presidents communicate with reporters, preferring impromptu Q&A sessions before boarding Marine One over formal press conferences. Those sessions, filled with the pulsing of helicopter rotor blades, often dominate the daily news cycle. Should they?

SDPB blogger Kevin Woster discusses how reporters cover the president on his blog, On the Other Hand.

Lori Walsh is a special correspondent with SDPB and host of the "In the Moment" podcast.
