US-style televised press briefings may be heading to Downing Street.
The proposals were revealed in a joint statement by the prime minister's official spokesman Simon Lewis and Jean Eaglesham, chairman of parliamentary lobby journalists.
Lewis and Eaglesham said that the move was prompted by a joint recognition of the "increasingly fast-moving and online media world".
The daily briefings to parliamentary journalists are currently held in private.
Six lobby journalists and five members of the government communications staff have set up a working group to look at the system of No. 10 briefings.
The group aims to recommended changes to the current system in the New Year.
Lewis said: "This is an important and timely initiative and I am very much looking forward to working with colleagues in government and the Lobby to propose changes which will enhance the role of Lobby whilst reflecting the realities of the modern political and media world."
Eaglesham, chief political correspondent of the Financial Times, added: "We have a shared interest in ensuring that the Lobby continues to operate as a cornerstone of political reporting whilst reflecting the changes in the media operating environment.
"That's why I am delighted that this review is taking place and that it will be an entirely collaborative effort."
The televised press briefing has been a mainstay of the American political scene for many years, and press secretaries are among the most high profile of White House staff.
