Panelists described covering the Trump administration as chaotic and tough.
April Ryan, a White House correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks and a political analyst for CNN, told an audience at George Washington University that she knows she has sometimes become part of the story of the Trump administration.
There was the time that the president asked Ms. Ryan from the podium during a press briefing to set up a meeting for him with the Congressional Black Caucus. And there have been social media battles between former White House aide Omarosa Manigault and Ms. Ryan and another social media rift between Ms. Ryan and a Trump appointee to the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
But Ms. Ryan, a George Washington University Terker Distinguished Fellow in the School of Media and Public Affairs (SMPA), said she has not sought to become part of the story of the Trump White House.
“There have been attacks, there’s been retaliation for questions, but it’s not about me,” Ms. Ryan said. “Unfortunately, I have been in the news, but it’s not about me, it’s about the story, and when you look at it as the story and not yourself, you can move on, you can keep going back every day.”
