Donald Trump vs the media...Round 2!

How will Trump鈥檚 next White House deal with journalists?

Key figures in Donald Trump鈥檚 transition team have suggested changing which journalists have access to the White House press briefing room, and who is allowed to put questions to Trump鈥檚 new administration. The influence of 鈥榥ew media鈥 platforms - streamers and podcasters - helped win the election for Trump, so could content-creators such as Joe Rogan be included?

Also, how will Trump deal with the media in his second term? And how will the media deal with him this time? Sarah and Marianna are joined by Peter Hamby, Host of 鈥楪ood Luck America鈥 on Snapchat, to discuss the future of the news media in America.

HOSTS:
鈥 Sarah Smith, North America Editor
鈥 Marianna Spring, Social Media Investigations Correspondent

GUEST:
鈥 Peter Hamby, Host of 鈥楪ood Luck America鈥 on Snapchat and Founding Partner at Puck News
