“ At least 30 media have refused to adopt new Pentagon rules on journalists’ access to information, despite the risk of losing the US Defense Ministry. Source: Reuters Details: The new Pentagon policy requires journalists to recognize the rules of access to the press, in particular that they can be recognized as a threat to security and deprived of Pentagon’s Prescard if they ask the staff of the Office to disclose secret and non -creating information. Among the publications that abandoned the Pentagon conditions, referring to the threat of freedom of the press, except for Reuters, the following media: Associated Press, Bloomberg News, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, CNN, CNN, CNN, CNN, CNN, FOX NEW, FOX NEW, CN, FOX NEW, CNN, CNN, CNN, CNN, CNN, CNN, CNN, CNN, CNN, CNN, CNN, CNN, CNN, CNN, CNN, CNN, CNN, CNN, CNN. Axios, Politico, The Guardian, The Atlantic, The Hill, Newsmax, Breaking Defense and Task & Purpose. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said: “This policy does not require them (media – ed.), But only confirming what they understand our policy.” This caused a tumultuous reaction of journalists. The Pentagon has set a term by Tuesday, to which the media must agree to these requirements or hand over their Pentagon presscases and release their workplaces in the department until Wednesday. US President Donald Trump, who was asked about a new policy on Tuesday, told reporters that Pentagon Hegset Hegset “believes that the press is very hindering world peace and possibly the security of our country.” Hegset called these requirements “common sense,” adding that “we are trying to ensure national security.” At the same time, according to the publication, the media do not challenge restrictions on journalists’ access to closed pentagon zones. According to the Pentagon Press Association, accredited journalists usually had access to open zones. All five main TV and radio companies of the Pentagon Press Association have published a joint statement on Tuesday, which states: “Today we join almost all other news organizations, refusing to agree with the new requirements of the Pentagon, which restrict the ability of journalists to inform the nation and the world. Let us continue to cover the activities of the American Armed Forces, as each of our organizations did for many decades, following the principles of free and independent press. ” Prehistory: In September, Pentagon said that journalists who cover his activities should agree to cover the information provided. These changes were concerned about media. In a letter to the Pentagon of September 22, the Committee of Reporters for Freedom of the Press argued that the rules contain ambiguous formulations on journalists’ responsibilities, including the requirement to obtain the government’s permission into articles containing even unnecessary information. Earlier, the Pentagon Press (PPA) Association made a sharp statement, accusing the US Department of Defense of “suppressing the free press” with the help of a new accreditation policy. The new rules initiated by the Defense Minister, Pete Hegset, restrict journalists’ access to the building and threaten the deprivation of accreditation for collecting information that has not been officially allowed for publication, even if it is not secret. Recall that in February, the White House banned the Associated Press journalists access to the Oval Cabinet and the Air Force One Presidential board because of refusing to use the geographical name “The Gulf”. In Kvita, the Federal Judge ordered the White House to renew the Associated Press in the Presidential Pulle of Journalists.”, – WRITE: www.pravda.com.ua
