CBS News ends over 60-year presence at Pentagon after declining to sign new press requirements

For the first time in more than 60 years, CBS News is giving up its Pentagon workspace after refusing to sign new press rules that reporters’ associations say could infringe First Amendment rights. The Defense Department’s policy requires prior approval for public release of information, even if unclassified, and most outlets declined by Tuesday’s deadline; One America News signed. CBS journalists, including veteran correspondents and support crews, turned in their credentials, ending a presence dating to World War II. They say losing access will not stop their coverage of the military.
