Court voids Pentagon press policy, restoring reporters' access
TL;DR Summary
A federal judge invalidated key provisions of the Defense Department's new Pentagon press policy, ruling it violated reporters' First Amendment rights and due process by allowing credential suspensions or revocations for reporting. The decision reinstates seven New York Times national-security reporters' Pentagon badges and emphasizes that wartime coverage should come from a broad press corps, even as other parts of the policy remain in effect amid ongoing Iran and Venezuela operations.
