In Editor & Publisher vandaag een artikel over de toenemende greep van het Witte Huis op fotojournalisten. Zij krijgen steeds minder ruimte hun werk te doen rond het Witte Huis, terwijl de persbureaus worden voorzien van gelikte handout foto's van de persdienst van president George Bush jr. Door onduidelijke bijschriften wordt in de media verhuld dat het niet om journalistieke foto's gaat.
Susan Walsh, president of the White House News Press Association and an AP photographer, believes the situation might change if the public knows it is being fed a sanitized vision of White House behavior. "We don't take the team pictures from the Dallas Cowboys," she said, referring to the AP. "We put our foot down on them. We should do the same thing with the White House. "We are getting less and less access."
