The Pentagon now requires journalists to get approval to report on military issues, restricting their access and independence.
The Pentagon has implemented new restrictions requiring journalists to obtain government approval before reporting on military matters, including signing pledges not to gather information without authorization.
The changes, introduced under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the rebranded Department of War, include red badges, escorted access, banned independent movement, reduced briefings, and removal of major news outlets from Pentagon offices.
Critics, including the National Press Club and the Knight First Amendment Institute, argue the policy undermines press freedom and democratic oversight by limiting independent reporting and increasing government control.
While the Pentagon claims the rules enhance security and accountability, many view them as part of a broader trend restricting media access under the Trump administration.
