Journalist Sues Pentagon Over Firing | Hartford News
Description
A former Stars and Stripes journalist is suing the Pentagon after being fired for defending the newspaper’s editorial independence — claiming her First Amendment rights were violated when she criticized military censorship moves. Hired in 2023 as the paper’s ombudsman, Jacqueline Smith says her dismissal was part of a broader effort to silence dissenting voices. Her lawsuit names top Pentagon officials and argues the Defense Department is trying to control military reporting. The Pentagon has stayed silent as no official response has been filed in court.
