After Pentagon walkout, reporting presses on | JQJO

Two days after dozens of reporters left Pentagon desks rather than accept new coverage rules, their reporting hasn’t stopped. Relying on sources, outlets detailed U.S. strikes on Caribbean boats suspected of drug trafficking; Reuters first reported a strike with survivors, later confirmed by President Donald Trump, with two people taken into U.S. custody. The New York Times revealed the sudden retirement of Adm. Alvin Holsey, head of Southern Command. The Pentagon calls its policy “common sense” as 15 signers were reported — none from legacy media.
