The Pentagon is implementing new guidelines that will require journalists to agree to report only approved and officially released information.
NPR's Quill Lawrence has more on the memo issued by the Department on Friday.
Two U.S. officials who were not authorized to speak publicly confirmed to NPR that the Pentagon will drastically change how journalists have covered the largest department in the U.S. government for decades.
Going forward, journalists must sign a pledge not to gather any information,
including unclassified reports, that hasn't been authorized for release.
The Pentagon says those who fail to obey the new policy will lose their press credentials.
On social media, Defense Secretary Pete Hegzeff posted that, quote,
the press does not run the Pentagon, the people do.
He wrote, the press is no longer allowed to roam the halls of a secure facility,
wear a badge and follow the rules or go home.
