Pentagon Imposes New Restrictions on Journalists, Demanding Pre-Approval for Military Reporting
The U.S. Defense Department has initiated a controversial new policy requiring journalists to agree to utilize only pre-approved information regarding military affairs. Failure to comply will result in the revocation of their credentials to cover the Pentagon.
This move, part of an updated press credentialing process, was outlined in a memo issued by Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell this week. The memo mandates that journalists sign a 10-page form as a prerequisite for obtaining and maintaining a press pass to report on the Defense Department. This development marks the latest effort by the administration to influence media reporting and control the narrative surrounding military operations.
