The Pentagon now requires defense reporters to pledge not to report any info without approval, risking loss of access.
The Pentagon has introduced a new policy requiring journalists covering the Department of Defense to sign a pledge not to collect or report any information—classified or unclassified—without official authorization.
Confirmed by two U.S. officials, the rule, implemented under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, marks a significant shift in press access, with violations potentially resulting in loss of credentials and exclusion from the Pentagon, the largest federal agency.
The change aims to tighten control over defense-related information and is part of broader efforts to reshape military communications.
While the Pentagon says the policy supports security and accurate reporting, critics warn it may restrict press freedom and transparency.
The rule applies to all journalists seeking access to briefings, events, and facilities at the Pentagon.
