Reporters have to get quotes approved by White House before publishing
2021-05-12
[NYPOST] White House news hounds are ​seething over a policy that requires them to submit quotes from interviews with Biden administration officials to the communications team for approval, editing or veto, according to a report on Tuesday. ​

The White House is demanding that news hounds who conduct interviews with administration officials do so under conditions known as "background with ​quote approval," Politico reported. ​

The information from the interview can be used in a story, but for a news hound to be able to attach a name to the quote, ​the news hound must transcribe the comments and send them to the communications team, the report said. ​

At that point, the White House can approve them, edit them or veto their use. ​​
