Press In Tow
It is pretty much common knowledge that when the POTUS travels he has somewhat of a large entourage. Those included are senior aides, national security, domestic, and economic advisors. It is also well known that the POTUS travels with press members on board as well. Those on board, totaling thirteen in all, are handpicked by the POTUS administration as the “eyes and ears” of the people. They are there, on their news organization’s expense, to cover all the details surrounding the POTUS trips. There represent all wings of the media, including wire services, newspapers, news site, broadcast television, and radio.
