“Journalists working at The Washington Post, the New York Times and other major news publications will not sign the Defense Department’s restrictive new press policy by Tuesday’s afternoon deadline. The Atlantic, CNN and the Guardian, along with the trade publication Breaking Defense, have also said they will not sign the new agreement. Matt Murray, The Post’s executive editor, said the policy runs counter to the Constitution’s guarantee of freedom of the press. … The policy says reporters cannot obtain or solicit any information the Defense Department does not explicitly authorize. Any media representatives who do not sign by Tuesday at 5 p.m. will have 24 hours to turn in their press credentials and clear out of the Pentagon facilities.” (10/13/25)
