This week, around 40 press organizations have signed a letter organized by the White House corresponds to association, urging the White House to reverse its policy against the AP.
Although journalists AP have always been authorized on the ground of the White House, they were kept away from the “swimming pool” of journalists who cover events in smaller spaces and come from its readers and other journalists. The AP has been one of the swimming pools of the White House for over a century.
The trial said that the PA had made “several unsuccessful efforts” to persuade the administration that his conduct was illegal.
Julie Pace, main vice-president of the AP and editor-in-chief, went to Florida this week to meet Wiles.
The style of style AP is a snack point
In an E-mail at AP, Wiles said that the press organization had been targeted because its influential style style is used as a standard by many journalists, academics and students across the country, the trial said. She said the administration hoped that the name change was reflected in the AP style book “Regarding the American public.”
The style of style is used by the international public, as well as those of the United States. The PA said that his advice had been offered to promote clarity and that even if the Gulf of Mexico will continue to be used, journalists should also note Trump’s action to change the name.
An executive decree of Trump to change the name of the largest mountain in the United States to Muckinley in Denali is recognized by the style of AP style. Trump has the power to do it because the mountain is completely in the country it supervises, said AP.

He said that “almost everyone” accepted the name change of the Golfe of America, but “after being cute”.
There was a mixed response from other press organizations: the New York Times and the Washington Post continue to use the Gulf of Mexico, while Fox News went to Trump’s choice. Google Maps uses the Golfe of America for users in the United States.
