Скачать или смотреть Pentagon's New Media Restrictions: Journalists Face Press Pass Revocation for Unapproved Reporting

The US military has implemented strict media guidelines, demanding journalists sign a pledge to restrict their access to information. This move has sparked controversy, with critics arguing it undermines independent journalism. The Pentagon's memo, issued by the Department of War, emphasizes the need for authorized release of information, even if unclassified. Journalists must now adhere to strict movement restrictions within the Pentagon or face press pass revocation. This follows a series of incidents, including the accidental sharing of sensitive information in a group chat, leading to increased media restrictions. The new policy has drawn criticism from press advocates, who see it as a threat to independent reporting and a violation of press freedoms. With Trump suggesting punishment for negative coverage, the media's access and freedom are under scrutiny. Join us as we delve into the implications of these restrictions and their impact on journalism.
