Pentagon to Issue New Press Credentials, Kicking Media Out; Judge Rules in Favor of The New York Times
The Pentagon is set to issue new press credentials to reporters, while simultaneously removing media offices from the building. This decision comes after a federal judge ruled in favor of The New York Times in a lawsuit over restricted access rules. Pentagon officials strongly disagree with the decision and plan to appeal it immediately. Reporters who didnt sign on to the new policy will use an annex on the grounds, though no one knows when itll be ready. The judge found the policy violated journalists rights by limiting credentials unfairly. Most of the current Pentagon press group consists of conservative outlets that went along with the changes, but holdouts like The Associated Press have kept covering the military anyway. Access to press events and interviews will continue, but only with escorts from public affairs staff. Separately, the AP awaits a court ruling on its own suit against reduced White House access tied to a naming dispute over a body of water. As appeals move forward, journalists are adapting to the shifts, ensuring defense news keeps flowing despite the hurdles.
