Pentagon Closes Doors to Journalists

Pentagon Closes Doors to Journalists

Published 3 days, 4 hours ago
Description

The Pentagon has shut its doors to journalists, officially sealing off its press office as a classified facility after speechwriters were found sharing the space — a move that’s part of a broader crackdown on media access at the Defense Department. Tensions have simmered for years, with outlets like The New York Times suing twice over escort requirements they say violate the First Amendment and stifle independent reporting. Despite a past court ruling against restrictions, the escort policy remains in place as legal appeals drag on — underscoring the ongoing battle between government secrecy and the public’s right to know.
