The Pentagon on Friday released new rules for reporters that cover the building, banning journalists from certain areas without an official escort or prior approval, heavily curtailing press access to military officials.
Reporters can now only wander certain hallways, mostly near the Pentagon’s entrances and the food court, with the areas off limits including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s physical office spaces and the Joint Staff physical office spaces “without an official approval and escort from the Office of the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs,” according to a memo signed by Hegseth.
