White House press corps

For example, after the 2020 United States presidential election, Peter Doocy, Fox News' lead campaign reporter during the two years that Joe Biden campaigned for president,[2] moved on to be the chief White House correspondent for the cable news channel,[3] replacing John Roberts, who had been chief correspondent during the presidency of Donald J.

An urban legend exists of President Theodore Roosevelt noticing a group of correspondents in the rain looking for sources for their stories and inviting them into the White House.

Subsequent historical research outlines how reporters were able to start with small stories in the White House and then grew their presence and influence over a span of many years.
