The White House Correspondents’ Association is urging CNN to allow at least one print pool reporter inside the studio for the duration of tonight’s presidential debate, after the network rejected previous requests.
When President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump debate at CNN’s studios in Atlanta, they will do so without any audience. Most reporters credentialed to cover the event will be in a press area in a separate building, watching the proceedings like the rest of the country.
The network is allowing some still photographers in the studios, according to the WHCA. The network also will allow a print reporter in the room during commercial breaks to capture the setting. But WHCA President Kelly O’Donnell said that is “not sufficient in our view and diminishes a core principle of presidential coverage.”
“The White House pool has a duty to document, report and witness the president’s events and his movements on behalf of the American people,” she wrote, noting that the Biden campaign supports the request and the Trump team said that they would not oppose it.
A CNN spokesperson declined to comment.
“CNN is a good citizen of our association and a vital partner in the daily coverage of the White House press corps,” O’Donnell wrote. “We recognize CNN is investing significant resources to host this debate and we wish them every success.”
She added, “WHCA respectfully requests that CNN adjust its plan and welcome the White House travel pool print representative to witness the debate in full for the sake of the news cycle, for history and mostly importantly for the American people.”
