The new rules aim to ensure that all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-reveals-new-rules-to-kick-reporters-from-briefings\/\" title=\"New rules from White House to remove reporters from briefings.\">hard pass holders<\/a> act professionally while on White House grounds, respecting their colleagues, White House employees, and guests. The rules also state that reporters who are deemed to be acting \u201cunprofessional\u201d may be removed from the briefing.<\/p>\n<h3>Is the White House Trying to Get Rid of Adversarial Journalism?<\/h3>\n<p>The new rules come after former President Donald Trump tossed several members of the press, including CNN\u2019s Jim Acosta and Salon.com\u2019s Brian Karem, at different times. However, some reporters suspect that the new rules may have something to do with Today News Africa\u2019s Simon Ateba, who has been known to disrupt unwritten rules of decorum by shouting questions out of turn at White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. While the White House claims that they are not trying to get rid of \u201cadversarial journalism,\u201d some reporters fear that the new rules may discriminate against independent journalists.<\/p>\n<h3>What Are the New Standards?<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to personal behavior, the new set of standards also has a few other stipulations. Hard pass holders must have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/los-angeles-democratic-mayor-to-propose-guaranteed-basic-income-pilot-in-most-progressive-budget-hes-overseen\/\" title=\"Los Angeles Democratic Mayor To Propose Guaranteed Basic Income Pilot In \u2018Most Progressive Budget\u2019 He\u2019s Overseen\">full-time employment<\/a> with media outlets that primarily report the news, they must live in Washington D.C. or other surrounding areas, they must have conducted work at the White House at least once in the last six months, and must have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pics-reports-claim-over-5000-detained-in-five-days-of-anti-war-protests-in-russia\/\" title=\"Pics: Reports Claim over 5,000 Detained in Five Days of Anti-War Protests in Russia\">valid press credentials<\/a> for the Supreme Court, Senate, or House. The current hard passes expire on July 31, and journalists must reapply for a one-year credential.<\/p>\n<h3>Is the White House Ignoring the Changing Landscape of Journalism?<\/h3>\n<p>Some reporters argue that the White House is ignoring the fact that journalism is rapidly changing, with many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/are-the-new-white-house-press-rules-actually-for-code-of-conduct-or-conformity\/\" title=\"Do the new White House press rules promote a code of conduct or conformity?\">seasoned veterans leaving established news<\/a> and information outlets to become independent journalists.
