Highlights
  • A federal judge blocked Pentagon press-access restrictions, reinstating reporters' credentials and affirming First Amendment protections for media access involving war-time reporting.
  • The policy was found to aim at weeding out disfavored journalists and replacing them with outlets aligned with Department leadership, signaling unlawful viewpoint discrimination.
  • The judge described the policy as impermissibly vague, giving officials leeway to revoke credentials for reporting activities not clearly defined.
