Pentagon to impose new limits on reporters' access, documents show

The Pentagon has implemented new restrictions on media access, requiring reporters to sign a document acknowledging they won't disclose classified or controlled unclassified information without authorization. Journalists risk losing Pentagon access for unauthorized disclosures or using unnamed sources. Reporters will require escorts within the building and face stricter limitations on movement. The Department of Defense, now called the Department of War, says this is to reduce leaks. The move has drawn criticism from press organizations who view it as an attack on independent journalism.
