March 25, 2021 - A date where President Joe Biden broke a record. The 64th day of being president with no press conferences.
It was hardly a press briefing. It was more a brief press statement. With lots of pages of notes. But in another historic first, it was the president who had the notes, not the intrepid reporters.
According to The Hill, here are the news organizations that got to ask a question or two.
Zeke Miller, Associated Press (president of the White House Correspondents Association)

Yamiche Alcindor, PBS NewsHour.
One question and one follow-up question.
