People on here really getting full of themselves.
"This is the kind of job that falls uniquely to the protective pool following the president or vice president of the United States. It chronicles the unfolding events, large and small, of a presidency, with the belief that writing history shouldn’t be left only to loyal staffers and government officials. It tries to keep the public informed — where the president is, where the president is going, what the president is doing and saying, how the president is doing, with whom the president is meeting. And it’s designed to tell Americans, and the world, about the president’s whereabouts and well-being in the event of a crisis, and how the president is responding. At its grimmest, it’s sometimes called a “body watch,” the bleak legacy of the assassination of JFK and the attempted murder of Ronald Reagan. But the “protective” in protective pool refers to the fact that it follows the president just in case and does not assemble for a specific announcement. (The president always has a protective pool, while the vice president gets one chiefly when traveling abroad.)
Why you should care about Trump ditching his press pool
"For security reasons, there's little if any advance warning about where the presidential motorcade will be going. But once it's on the move, there's a vital tool that we used heavily to cover that visit: the protective press pool.
This term refers to a small group of journalists who are given access to travel with the president and provide information that's shared with media organizations, which can then share it with their readers. The gravity of the office demands that such accounting for the president's activities takes place, and every administration going back decades has worked with the news media to accommodate pool coverage for that reason."
