White House ne Press Access Change Kiya, Controversy Hui!
Aaj kal, White House mein bada drama chal raha hai. Press access ko lekar changes hue hain, jismein wire services jaise ki Associated Press (AP), Reuters, aur Bloomberg News ka access kam kar diya gaya hai. Yeh decision tab aaya jab ek court ne White House ko bola ki woh viewpoint discrimination band kare. Pehle yeh wire services har presidential event cover karte the, lekin ab unhe sirf “eligible for selection” bana diya gaya hai.
Viewpoint Discrimination ka Ilzaam
Bloomberg ke Editor-in-Chief, John Micklethwait, ne is decision pe gussa jataya hai. Unka kehna hai ki isse “accurate real-time reporting” pe effect padega. AP ne Trump administration pe case bhi kiya tha jab White House ne unke reporters aur photographers ko restrict karna shuru kar diya tha, kyunki AP ne “Gulf of Mexico” ka naam “Gulf of America” karne se mana kar diya tha.
Court ka Faisla aur White House ka Reaction
Judge ne rule kiya ki White House, AP ko restrict nahi kar sakta unke editorial decisions ki wajah se. Lekin White House is ruling ke khilaf appeal kar raha hai. Is beech, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt ne press pool ke rules hi change kar diye hain. Ab, print, TV, radio, “new media,” aur photographers ke liye alag se spots hain, par wire services ke liye fixed spot nahi rahe.
Kya Hai Yeh Naya System?
Leavitt ka kehna hai ki yeh changes “targeted audiences” tak President ka message pahunchane ke liye zaruri hain. Unhone kaha ki unke paas “day-to-day discretion” hoga ki pool mein kaun hoga. White House Correspondents Association ke President, Eugene Daniels, ne is move ki aalochna ki hai, aur kaha hai ki yeh “retaliation against news organizations” hai.
Aage Kya Hoga?
Abhi dekhna yeh hai ki isse media aur White House ke rishte pe kya asar padta hai. Yeh news global level pe bhi discuss ho rahi hai. Kya yeh press freedom ke liye khatra hai? Aap kya sochte hain, comments mein batayein!
