Pentagon closes reporters' corridor as court orders NYT access reinstated

A federal judge ruled the Pentagon’s press-access policy violated journalists’ rights, ordering the reinstatement of NYT press credentials and the closure of the Pentagon’s longstanding Correspondents’ Corridor. Reporters will eventually work from an annex outside the building, with escorted access still required for some events, while the Defense Department appeals the ruling and other outlets continue reporting from outside the building.

Pentagon tightens press access after court ruling, closes corridor and relocates workspace

After a judge blocked the Pentagon’s pledge-based credential policy, the DoD announced three changes: the Correspondents’ Corridor is closed, press work will move to an annex outside the Pentagon, and all journalists must be escorted to the building (though credential holders can attend scheduled briefings and interviews). The department says it will appeal the ruling. Media groups warn the shift will curb access and accountability, noting many outlets refused to sign the pledge.
