In an open letter, the former officials band together to request the return of press briefings.
On Friday, 13 former military, foreign service officials and press secretaries wrote a joint open letter calling on President Donald Trump and his administration to bring back regular White House press briefings.
The officials added that,"For the president and the administration this is a matter of both self-interest and national interest." "An informed press corps strengthens our ability to govern," the letter says. While the writers mention the importance of social media—President Trump, has a well-known and very active Twitter account—the media, the letter argues, are still a very important source of information to the American public.
Press briefings, the letter argues, also improve the way the government itself operates."Knowing there are briefings scheduled is a powerful incentive for administration officials to complete a policy process on time."
