Description
White House reporters have access to the highest seat in the country —
and they’re a small group. An even smaller group? Reporters of color. On
today’s episode of Playbook Deep Dive, Eugene Daniels gets honest with
fellow Black White House correspondents April Ryan (TheGrio) and Ayesha
Rascoe (NPR) about everything from microaggressions to death threats.
“Covering the White House from Bill Clinton to now, race touches
everything,” says Ryan. “Everything.” Plus, a look at the first Black
female White House reporter Alice Dunnigan and her faceoffs with
Eisenhower — who refused to take her questions for two years.
Eugene Daniels is a co-author of POLITICO Playbook.
Carol McCabe Booker is a former journalist and attorney who edited Alice
Dunnigan's autobiography "Alone atop the Hill."
April Ryan is White House Correspondent at TheGrio.
Ayesha Rascoe is White House Correspondent for NPR and part of the NPR
Politics Podcast.
Adrienne Hurst is a producer for POLITICO audio.
Annie Rees is a producer for POLITICO audio.
Jenny Ament is senior producer for POLITICO audio.

Rep. Jerry Nadler opposed the House antisemitism bill. Here's why: Rep. Jerry Nadler, who has represented a big piece of Manhattan since 1992, is one of the longest-serving Jewish members of the House. He’s also a Columbia University alumnus: he was on campus in 1968 when police cleared Hamilton Hall of anti-Vietnam war protesters.
