The Pentagon announced on Wednesday that more than 60 journalists have agreed to the restrictive new press policies implemented by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and will form the “next generation of the Pentagon press corps.”
The Defense Department did not identify the journalists or outlets that have signed the new media access policy, which requires reporters to acknowledge in writing that it could be considered a security threat to solicit unapproved information from sources.
In a statement, chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said that “26 journalists across 18 outlets were among the former Pentagon press corps” who agreed to the new policy. They were not identified in the statement.
