Newts advice: Trump use technology to reach the public

The Trump administration should use technology to reach the public—with fewer or no middlemen.

Newt Gingrich - Christian Whiton

To say that the media is biased and deceitful is to say that the sun rises in the east—a truism that is apparent to the vast majority of Americans, of whom only 32 percent have “a great deal” or even just “a fair amount” of trust in the media according to Gallup.
The Trump administration should use technology to reach the public with fewer or no middlemen. Why continue to advantage an incumbent press corps that hates the incoming president and has no intention of giving him a fair shot?

White House and agency spokesmen could use technology like Google Hangouts to hold video press conferences where local correspondents from around the country and independent media are on an equal footing with the Beltway reporters. The president and senior officials could address issues of importance to the public in video distributed by Facebook Live and YouTube.

The White House could gradually replace its physical briefing room with a virtual one, enabling more diversity in media by lowering the barriers to entry of covering the administration.

It’s time for radical change. Journalism has collapsed to such a degree that even some prominent liberals have become embarrassed. Outgoing White House staffer Ben Rhodes, who spoon fed an eagerly gullible White House media the Benghazi cover-up and Iran nuclear deal fiasco, told a New York Times Magazine interviewer earlier this year that many White House reporters “literally know nothing.” Rather than feed this beast, the Trump White House and its agencies should work toward a more democratic media that doesn’t help progressive elitists mislead voters.

Newt Gingrich may convince the President-elect of this concept.

It may not be a terrible idea. Things are moving in this direction, regardless.

Reince Priebus’ interview on the general topic.

**Priebus: Trump Looking At Ways To Update “Mundane” Traditions Like WH Press **

Incoming White House chief of staff Reince Priebus told radio host Hugh Hewitt that Donald Trump is looking for ways to modernize “mundane, boring” traditional ways of making news from the White House.

“There’s a lot of different ways that things can be done, and I can assure you we’re looking at that,” he said. “I think it’s time to revisit a lot of these things that have been done in the White House, and I can assure you that change is going to happen.”
