An African journalist has accused the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) of discriminating against him by kicking him out of the association and having a double standard against him.

Simon Ateba, founder and chief White House correspondent for Today News Africa, was informed last week that his membership to the organization of journalists who cover the White House and the president wouldn’t be renewed. Members are required to renew their membership as early as Jan. 1.
