When the White House started banning live audio and video coverage of press briefings last month, journalists questioned the commitment to transparency of President Donald Trump’s administration. Though disgruntled, reporters have held no boycotts and news outlets have toed the line ― only airing audio from briefings after they’ve ended, per new White House guidelines. On Wednesday, however, the first rumblings of rebellion were heard — in the form of two pieces of audio streamed live from the White House by reporter Ksenija Pavlovic, founder and editor-in-chief of Pavlovic Today. As The Washington Post first reported, Pavlovic used the live video-streaming app Periscope to stream audio from a press briefing held by deputy White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Pavlovic, a former doctoral and teaching fellow at Yale, posted the audio streams to her Twitter page.
