The latest news about presidential affairs, including updates from the White House and more.
In a presidential news conference, the President meets with multiple members of the press in a formal setting to answer questions. These interactions can be on or off the record and may include a single question from a specific reporter or a collection of questions submitted by members of the press in advance. Some examples of this are the ‘Solo-Reg’ and ‘Prime-Time’ conferences.
A reputable news story should also cite experts (usually more than one) on the subject at hand. It’s a good idea to snoop on those sources, too, by visiting their website or social media page, reading their bio at the place they claim to work, checking their academic credentials and researching what other people say about them online. This can help you determine whether their opinion is well informed and unbiased.
