The Pentagon has rolled out a new set of restrictions for journalists, even after a judge ruled parts of its previous media policy unconstitutional. The New York Times says it is heading back to court over the new rules.
Last Friday, Judge Paul Friedman of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that the Pentagon’s earlier media policy, put in place by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, violated the First Amendment. Those original rules allowed the Pentagon to label journalists as security risks and revoke their press passes if they were seen as a threat to national security.
