Loves Trump, lies and conspiracies: Katie Zacharia is the perfect presidential press secretary

What the coverage shows

The New York Times and The Hill both focus on Katie Zacharia’s first appearance before reporters, with the Times stressing an awkward, tightly controlled debut and The Hill framing it as her first press conference. The Independent splits its coverage into identity questions, first introducing her and then separately asking whether she is really a lawyer, while noting only in one extract that she had briefly worked at DHS. The Guardian US is the outlier, using the moment to deliver a sharply critical profile rather than a straight account of the briefing.
