In the first 100 days of the Trump administration, President Trump has rewritten the rules of how the White House interacts with Americans and the press. From tweets to leaks, the IOP explores the role of new media in politics, the relationship of the press corps to the White House, and the power of 140 characters.
Exploring these issues is Shailagh Murray, current fellow at the IOP and former Senior Advisor to then President Obama; and Ben Smith, the current editor-in-chief of Buzzfeed.
