A federal judge has struck down key parts of the Pentagons strict press access policy, siding with the New York Times in a lawsuit over First Amendment and due process rights. The policy, which forced reporters to agree to tight restrictions for daily building access, has led major outlets to pull out entirely. The judge struck down vague bans on reporters soliciting sensitive info from military staff and rejected language framing access as a privilege instead of a right. The ruling aims to protect press freedom without fully undermining security needs, leaving the full effects on other newsrooms still up in the air.
