Federal judge rules Pentagon press restrictions unconstitutional in New York Times lawsuit
U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman ruled that the Pentagon's press credentialing policy violated the First and Fifth Amendments in a lawsuit brought by The New York Times. The policy required journalists to sign agreements restricting information gathering and resulted in many major outlets losing access to the Pentagon. Following the ruling, the Pentagon announced it would appeal and implemented new restrictions including removing media offices from the Pentagon building.
