Mr. Earnest highlighted some of the ways the
Obama administration has improved transparency in the White House. Yet, over nearly the past eight years, the Society of Professional Journalists and other groups have repeatedly outlined to the administration various ways in which transparency has gotten worse, including:
■ Officials’ blocking requests by reporters to talk to specific staff people.
■ Excessive delays in answering interview requests that stretch past reporters’ deadlines.
■ Conveying information “on background,” and refusing to give reporters what should be public information unless they agree not to say who is speaking.
■
Federal agencies’ blackballing of reporters who write critically of them.
■
Lack of meaningful visual access to the president by an independent press pool.
