Katie Zacharia will be the next White House press secretary
Conservative commentator Katie Zacharia is expected to be named the next White House press secretary, replacing Karoline Leavitt.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center the DOJ investigation into ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and Fox News over the White House pool dispute. The Washington Post frames it as a possible antitrust probe and adds that it marks a sharp escalation in the Trump administration’s use of power against perceived press enemies, while The Hill foregrounds the networks’ brief pullback from pool coverage and says sources told the New York Times about the probe. The Hill is the only one to mention the outlets’ response in the headline and extract.
