New York Times Sues Pentagon Over Restriction on Press Freedom

TL/DR –

The New York Times has sued Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the Pentagon’s new policy that requires internal authorization before media outlets can gather information. The Pentagon policy, implemented in September, prohibits journalists from reporting on even unclassified material that hasn’t been approved for public release. The Times, along with NPR and other organizations, relinquished their press passes in protest.
