Pentagon to issue new press credentials but remove media offices

The U.S. Defense Department says it will issue new press credentials but remove media offices from the Pentagon. The announcement comes after a judge sided with The New York Times in a lawsuit regarding limits on reporters’ access to the building. Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell says the agency disagrees with the ruling and will appeal. U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman in Washington, D.C., ruled last week that the Pentagon’s limits illegally restrict the press credentials of reporters who walked out of the building rather than agree to the new rules. Parnell says reporters will be able to work from an “annex” outside the building, which “will be available when ready.”
