"Effective immediately, the Correspondents' Corridor is closed. A new workspace will be established in an annex facility outside the Pentagon, but still on Pentagon grounds."
"The Department of War's changes to press access in 2025, where they withdrew accreditations to a host of prominent media outlets, violated the constitution."
"Credential holders will continue to have access to the Pentagon for scheduled press briefings, press conferences, and interviews arranged through public affairs offices."
"While the Pentagon was committed to transparency, it was equally committed to security, especially during critical times for defense reporters."
The Pentagon has tightened restrictions on journalists, requiring them to be escorted by authorized personnel for access. The Correspondents' Corridor is closed, and a new workspace will be established outside the main building. These changes follow a court ruling that deemed previous press access alterations unconstitutional. The Pentagon plans to appeal the ruling while stating it will comply with court orders. Credentialed journalists will still have access for scheduled events, balancing transparency with security concerns amid ongoing military operations.
