Sean Spicer: Katie Zacharia wasn't set up for success in press secretary role
Spicer knows the lectern. The former Trump White House press secretary supplied NewsNation's most-watched new upload, arguing that intense scrutiny may have contributed to Katie Zacharia's departure from the same role. His assessment gives the channel's political coverage a perspective rooted in having held the job himself.
Across fifteen uploads, the week stretched well beyond Washington. A live police update from Bend, Oregon, following an elementary school shooting drew almost as many views as the Spicer segment. Both are also the channel's busiest uploads right now.
Elsewhere, the Missing series covered the disappearance of Edna Nicole Pate in Arkansas, with her family describing nearly three months without contact. The tone shifted markedly on NewsNation Live, where David's Bridal CEO Kelly Cook discussed the company's wedding dresses and suits for dogs. That product-focused interview is attracting the third-largest daily audience among the channel's uploads.
NewsNation added roughly 12 million views and 10,000 subscribers over the week. Daily viewing is modestly above its usual level, rather than undergoing a dramatic surge. Among nearby broadcasters, the New York Post had a particularly large weekly view gain, while the Washington Post's daily viewing was below its usual pace. For NewsNation, the week's strongest new interest centered on the pressures of a public-facing job and a developing local tragedy.
