Multiple news outlets say they won't sign new Pentagon rules on access
The New York Times, The Associated Press and the conservative television network Newsmax are among five outlets on Monday who say they won't sign a new Defense Department document about its new press rules. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's team has said that reporters who don't sign onto their new rules will be thrown out of the Pentagon on Wednesday if they don't agree. The new rules declare large swaths of the Pentagon off-limits to reporters and declares that journalists who report information not formally approved by Hegseth's team risk getting their access revoked. The Pentagon says the rules are “common sense.” Journalists say they punish routine newsgathering.
