Get the facts—No party line
The Pavlovic Today is a Washington-based, independent, woman-owned American news organization covering the White House, Congress, the State Department, and global affairs. It is founded and led by White House Correspondent Ksenija Pavlovic McAteer.
One of fewer than 100 media organizations with a permanent White House hard pass—and credentialed by the U.S. State Department and Senate Press Galleries—The Pavlovic Today reports from the center of American political power, delivering direct, on-the-record coverage of U.S. leadership and international diplomacy.
It operates inside the institutions it covers—without being owned by them.
Why We Exist
Corporate media dominates American journalism. In Hollywood, independent film exists alongside major studios. That model has long been absent inside the White House and State Department press corps.
The Pavlovic Today was built to fill that gap—bringing independent, credentialed journalism into the highest levels of government.
As the first Serbian-American journalist in history to hold credentials across the White House, State Department, and Congressional press corps, Ksenija Pavlovic McAteer has delivered firsthand coverage from the final year of Barack Obama in 2016, through the presidency of Donald Trump, the Joe Biden administration, and the current return of Donald Trump—reporting from inside the institutions shaping American and global power..
Access & Credentials
The Pavlovic Today stands among an elite group of approximately 90 media organizations worldwide holding a White House Hard Pass, granting direct access to the center of U.S. executive power.
The publication is also credentialed by the U.S. State Department and the Senate Press Gallery, ensuring firsthand coverage of American diplomacy, foreign policy, and legislative decision-making on Capitol Hill.
This level of access places The Pavlovic Today inside the institutions where policy is shaped—delivering authoritative, independent reporting from the halls of power.
Distribution & Partnerships
The Pavlovic Today is distributed across major global platforms, including Apple News, Microsoft Start, SmartNews, and NewsNow—reaching a global audience.
It is part of Newspack by Automattic, a publishing platform supported by the Google News Initiative and WordPress.com, connecting it to a network of leading independent media organizations.
