Pentagon to impose new restrictions on reporters' access

[Morphine Prince 109,977]

Media within the Pentagon covering the U.S. military will face new restrictions on the information they are allowed to report or face loss of access to the Pentagon, according to a memo officials distributed to reporters on Friday. 

Members of the press will be required to sign a document acknowledging they should not disclose either classified or controlled unclassified information that is not formally authorized for publication, says the memo from the Department of Defense, which the Trump administration has renamed the Department of War. It says Pentagon reporters may lose their press credentials for "unauthorized access, attempted unauthorized access, or unauthorized disclosure" of classified information or anything designated as "controlled unclassified information."

The memo also says "DoW information must be approved before public release … even if it is unclassified."  

Compliance with the directive would mean that journalists would not be able to use unnamed U.S. military sources in much of their reporting without risking loss of access to the Pentagon.

Reporters' movements within the Pentagon will also be more limited. Reporters will need an official escort within much of the facility, even with a press pass.
