Police Shouldn't Pick the Press: Protecting Access to Journalists at Protests

An op-ed arguing that New Jersey police overstepped by trying to bar or verify journalists covering the Delaney Hall protests and hunger strike, raising questions about who counts as press. The piece advocates using indicia of journalism (ID, assignment letters, distinctive gear, professional equipment) rather than official credentials, noting incidents of arrests and pepper spray aimed at reporters and arguing that press rights exist to inform the public and should not depend on police discretion. It also highlights the growing role of independent livestreamers in covering protests and cautions against police deciding who is allowed to document public events.

Public expected to attend pivotal Charlie Kirk shooting case hearing in Utah

In Provo, Utah, Judge Tony Graf ruled the July 6‑10 preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson—charged with the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk—will be open to reporters and the public, denying a defense bid to close parts of the proceeding. Prosecutors will present evidence including DNA on the rifle components, surveillance video, witness statements, autopsy findings, and a note Robinson allegedly left; the death penalty is a possibility if convicted, and Robinson has not yet entered a plea. A June 12 hearing will address prosecutors’ comments in the media.

Pentagon media access fight escalates with new policy challenge

After a court struck down the Pentagon’s old media-credential rules, the department issued a revised policy the New York Times says still violates the court’s order and the First and Fifth Amendments; NYT filed a motion to compel compliance, arguing the update restates restrictive, vague provisions—including an escort requirement and bans on soliciting information and promising confidentiality—that undermine press access and public information during war.

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.
