After years of mounting tension between the Obama administration and the White House Correspondents’ Association, the press corps is reportedly finalizing a list of demands of promises from the administration it intends to submit this spring.

Association President Christi Parson told the Washington Examiner that the press corps has been working on the list of demands for "almost a year" and plans to release it "later this spring."

The most recent spat between the White House and the press corps occurred last week in Salt Lake City, when reporters were boxed out of a meeting between Obama and Mormon leaders. But the history of the administration's abuses of the press corps goes back years. The Daily Caller provides some context to the deteriorating relationship between the press and the "most transparent administration in history":

Although the Salt Lake City incident appears to be the immediate cause, Obama has long had a troubled relationship with the White House press corps. Reporters have openly complained about the White House’s lack of transparency, with some even claiming to have been on the receiving end of “profanity-laced tirades” from White House officials.

A White House Correspondents’ Association seminar last year basically turned into a White House bash-fest, with some going as far as to call it “more dangerous” to press freedom than any other administration.
