In a memo on Friday, the Department of Defense said journalists who publish unauthorized sensitive material could have their press credentials revoked. The memo said news organizations will be required to acknowledge that disclosing, accessing or attempting to access sensitive information without authorization could be grounds for having their Pentagon press credentials denied or revoked. It also represents an expansion of restrictions on press access to the Pentagon under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a former Fox News host. The move was quickly condemned by media organizations including the New York Times, Reuters, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal. In February, the department removed four media organizations from their designated Pentagon office spaces, beginning a rotation with other outlets that included right-leaning publications.
