press pool
Shared media access
A press pool is a small group of journalists selected to cover an event on behalf of all news organizations, then share their reporting with colleagues who couldn't attend.
Pools form when space is limited or access restricted—presidential travel, military operations, court proceedings.
The press pool accompanied the president aboard Air Force One.
The arrangement balances news access against logistical constraints.
