press pools  

Definition

  • “Press pool” refers to a small group of reporters, photographers, camera operators, and technicians, typically representing a variety of print and broadcast media organizations, who are chosen to cover a particular event, a series of events, or a particular organization. Press pools are commonly employed both by government institutions (such as the White House or State Department) to facilitate day-to-day coverage, and during large-scale events (such as inaugurations, political conventions, or the Olympics) or events where space is limited, such as a trial.
