The New York Times on Tuesday accused the Pentagon of disobeying a judge’s ruling that undid much of the restrictive agreement journalists were forced to sign or lose access to the building. The Pentagon also issued a revised policy that now requires journalists to be escorted into the building. Journalists who cover the Pentagon have strongly pushed back against new press access rules. CNN was among the networks that said it would seek to regain press access. (While the press room will not be in the Pentagon building, Parnell said it would still be “on Pentagon grounds”.)
