The AP said in a statement, “In solidarity with news organizations who have had their access to the White House restricted, AP joined a group of news outlets in not publishing photographs of today's presidential events. No news organization — or person — should be retaliated against by the government over the words they use.”

[Brian Stelter @brianstelter]

Photographers from The New York Times, The AP, AFP, Reuters and Getty, all of whom are on photo pool duty on Monday, are participating in what The Washington Post called a “collective effort with photographers in other newsrooms.”

What is the White House pool? These days, it's a battleground between Trump and free press rights

News: NPR won’t use audio from White House events until further notice, per internal memo. “Newscast and shows can report the substance of the president’s comments during this time, but not use tape from events.”

Here is what happens when you don't have the White House TV Pool. You have video of Trump - but you can't hear what the President is saying.

[Sophia Cai @SophiaCai99]

Trump made his first remarks without the TV pool and it is impossible to hear him through the White House feed. He is doing an unveiling of the new helipad just before Xi’s visit.

Nothing but static for 9 minutes and Trump is wheels up.

[Rob Crilly @robcrilly]

Trump was speaking. But on this feed - without TV pool - viewers could not hear him speak

C-SPAN says it relies on the TV network pool for coverage of the president: "Without a pool feed, we will not be showing the 1:45pm White House event."

Intriguing: I'm told the Office of the First Lady has approved CNN reporter @betsy_klein's credential to cover an event with Melania Trump on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly tomorrow.

NEW YORK (AP) — AP source: Paramount reaches settlement with states that sued over its Warner buyout, clearing path for the mega merger.

Trump on Truth Social: "I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW (who recently changed their name from MSNBC due to lack of viewership and credibility!), and Politico..."

Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) says restricting press access is “wrong,” in light of outlets being banned from the White House.

“Just because you don't like what the press is reporting or the fact that they wouldn't call it the Gulf of America or something else like that, that's not the reason to ban the press. You should never ban the press. The press is what keeps us honest,” Simpson said. “So, I don’t like what they’re doing.”

He said he doesn’t think those sorts of bans will reach Congress.
