As our nation celebrates 250 years, among the freedoms I am most grateful for is the First Amendment and all of the ways it ensures a free society through our history and in this very moment. Protect it. Honor it. Believe in it.

The 5 network WH TV pool provides raw materials of news coverage: video, audio, editorial information and logistical support to news outlets then seen across the world. That is separate from how individual outlets use the material to prepare their own stories and make their own editorial choices.

If a news outlet shoots and plays out its content online or through a channel, that is called "unilateral" coverage. A "pool" requires an organized system of member
outlets, a secure distribution
system, cost sharing and defined duties.

Yes, WHCA has long provided specific guidance from Secret Service and various administrations
on matters where video material should not be used at all or with limitations for security reasons.

For decades, the @whca has advised poolers not to air video of taillights because it’s a potential risk to the security of the motorcade.
