NPR: Will Obama's White House be Open to the Media?

Interesting piece from NPR this morning on how Obama will handle communication and information dissemination when he’s president.

His campaign used social media very well and he knows that Americans increasingly want to get their news as it happens. However, the traditional media outlets will not be left out the cold, according to a transition team spokesperson.

This does, however, beg the question…will the White House press corps be competing with news outlets who want to deliver the news themselves?

Also, what will these mean for the traditional relationship that the White House has had with the press?
