Priebus said the White House team is currently discussing how to change things, including where the press sits in the White House briefing room. Though Priebus suggested that assigned seats in the front row started with President Barack Obama’s administration, the tradition of assigned seats at least in the first couple rows began in Ronald Reagan’s administration. Then-deputy press secretary Larry Speakes assigned the front row to the six national news wire services and television networks, with selected newspapers getting the second row. In President George W. Bush's administration the room was renovated and the White House Correspondents' Association started assigned the seating.
