	Press gallery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The press gallery is the part of a parliament where journalists are allowed to sit or gather to observe and then report speeches and events.
		This is generally one of the galleries overlooking the floor of the house.
		In the United States this group is referred to as the press corps.

	White House Press Corps.
		The Washington press corps has come grudgingly to the recognition that George W. Bush is “malleable” with the truth, as the Washington Post delicately put it.
		George Bush's press conference yesterday was only the ninth he has held in 30 months of office and a offered rare chance for reporters to get to grips with the most disciplined, and arguably the most secretive, White House of modern times.
		It was the first such gathering of the full press corps at Bush's ranch and the second of its kind in Bush's presidency.

		On the minus side, the press has not convinced a large enough chunk of the public either that something urgent has to be done or that the press's informational role in their lives is crucial to a working democracy.
		The press initiative in Washington touches on only a small piece of a much larger, insidious system of keeping important information from the public through underhanded devices, such as classifying as "secret" government reports and data that have nothing to do with national security or issues of homeland safety.
		The press agitation began to take form in mid March, when a symposium was held at the National Press Club to vent frustrations over the Bush stonewalling and to consider ways to overcome it.

		Press members will have access to the Internet and will search for articles in the news that will have a direct impact on the committees of the conference.
		Also, during the conference there will be some scheduled press briefings where members of the press corps (and also advisors, coaches, and other non-delegate participants or observers) will get the chance to listen to field experts and/or distinguished members of various governments report information about diverse topics.
		That was simply a long-winded way to explain how the members of the press corps should begin practicing their objectivity skills for the conference.

		Press tables were actually located in the middle of the House floor.
		Carpenter, son of Lady Bird Johnson’s press secretary Liz Carpenter, started arguing that news organizations should at least pay for their space according to market value, that close-up parking by the Capitol should be a perk that went the way of the Dodo Bird, and journalists should start rejecting the freebie favors from lobbyists.
		Gradually, and in some cases grudgingly, the press corps began to have to pay more than a pittance for their close proximity to the legislative chambers.

	PressThink: Instead of the White House Press, You Envision What?
		I think the alternative would be an aggressive, curious and analytical press corps, based anywhere (including cyberspace), fact-checking the snot out of the White House and writing critically about the president’s statements, proposals and actions, and those of his administration, in both daily coverage and investigative reporting.
		I want a White House press corps who realize that other Americans, no matter how alien their practices and cultures may seem to the reporters, are not incomprehensible or uneducable.
		I think there's a lot of that in the WH press corps, as well as the media at large (one symptom of which is the urge to attach the -gate suffix to every scandal), and I don't like it.

		In the previous week, the press corps had dutifully presented the president's adolescent aircraft carrier landing stunt as a great Macho Moment in American history -- "Mission Accomplished, Suckers!" -- and he had every reason to be pleased with their handiwork.
		What a gentleman this president is! The prankster in chief then scolded the press corps for daring to ask questions on this day.
		Not only is the Old Gray Lady not what she used to be, the entire press corps is in danger of becoming obsolete by sheer redundancy.

		The Bush press conference to me was like a mini-Alamo for American journalism, a final announcement that the press no longer performs anything akin to a real function.
		Particularly revolting was the spectacle of the cream of the national press corps submitting politely to the indignity of obviously pre-approved questions, with Bush not even bothering to conceal that the affair was scripted.
		But the White House press corps’ idea of "taking a shot" is David Sanger asking Bush what he thinks of British foreign minister Jack Straw saying that regime change was not necessarily a war goal.

		He says that there are a lot of people in the White House press room who have strong opinions and sometimes put them into their questions and it's not his job as the press secretary to be deciding who can get into the White House and who can't based on their political views.

		It's unknown what prompted the normally docile and toothless press corps to grow a pair and rise out of their elitist slumber but the chutzpah was on full display last week as reporters grilled White House press secretary Scott McClellan over President Bush's military record.
		Observers said that the White House press corps suffers from overwhelming guilt in not asking the kind of tough questions before the 2000 election that it should have.
		Helen Thomas, grand dame of the Washington press corps, said that the rehash of Bush's military career made her feel like she had traveled back in time to the 2000 election.

		As an example, he cited Peace Corps volunteers' collaboration with the Ministry of Women's Affairs in the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, which started young girl's mentoring facilities, and programs like these, he added, are done in a culturally appropriate way.

		The press corps members should be paid as actors, not journalists.
		If there is any respect for a free press left among the media covering the White House, they should simply pull out their "correspondents" from the "Propaganda on the Potomac" Rove/Fleischer manufactured "news" operation.

		The press corps barely noted in 1998 when the CIA itself admitted that scores of Nicaragua contra units were implicated in cocaine trafficking and that the Reagan-Bush administration had hidden the evidence.
		In doing so, the press corps oohed and aahed over what might have seemed like serious bungles, such as his handling of a downed U.S. spy plane on a Chinese island.
		He may be pleased that the Washington press corps has been generous toward Bush — as the press was to Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush and was not to Clinton and Gore.

	Screw You, Mr. President - Helen Thomas used to ask questions in press briefings. Now she makes speeches. By Jack Shafer
		Press Secretary Ari Fleischer has lobotomized the White House press corps in official briefings by jawing more and more and saying less and less.
		Which brings us to the saddest part of Thomas' decline: She often raises serious questions that are on lots of people's minds—questions that other critical journalists in the press corps might want to pose.
		White House press briefings and news conferences are for members of the "press." By definition, "press" includes reporters.

	Howler: Press corps just loves Gennifer Flowers
		The press corps has long asserted, as a mantra, that “we now know that Flowers is telling the truth.” The assertion is ludicrously, howlingly false; it is absurd to say we “now know” she spoke truly.
		That the press corps accepts this as Sacred Truth--that it engages in ritual affirmation of Flowers--shows how low the press corps is willing to go in accepting the word of accusers.
		This is evidence the press corps has long since dispatched down the memory hole it reserves for bad news--the memory hole the press corps reserves for news that casts doubt on accusers.

		Their appearance on television, at press conferences, in parliament, and at public hearings is hardly suitable for drama beyond that of the advertisement, while the consequences of their actions surpass the scope of the drama.
		Besides the corps of regular reporters attached to a newspaper, there are several occasional ones, called `penny-a-line men,' from the circumstance of their furnishing articles of intelligence at a fixed price per line.

		I don't see why the press corps has to be party to that, either.

		The meeting was, of course, closed to the press as it should have been, and I guess, Mike Litwin writes, It could have been a logistics problem that prevented the media from meeting with the families after they talked to the president it, could have been a privacy concern or an Elaine Johnson issue.
