Why news outlets rejected the Pentagon's new press rules

Season 2025 Episode 287 | 8m 23s

Tuesday marks the deadline for journalists to decide whether to comply with the Pentagon's new rules for keeping credentials. Virtually every news organization, including PBS News, has refused to sign it, arguing that it infringes on First Amendment protections. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Nancy Youssef of The Atlantic and David Schulz of the Media Freedom and Information Access Clinic.
