The reshuffle followed a decision by several outlets to reject the Department of War’s new media access policy
The Pentagon has unveiled the lineup of its new press corps, which is mainly comprised of conservative news outlets seen as supportive of US President Donald Trump’s administration.
The reshuffle at the Department of War came after journalists from major outlets, including The New York Times, the Associated Press, CNN, and the Washington Post, rejected a revised media access policy introduced by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and returned their press passes last week.
Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a post X on Wednesday that more than 60 reporters, “representing a broad spectrum of new media outlets and independent journalists,” will make the “the next generation” of the Pentagon press corps after signing up to the new rules.
They will be joining 26 journalists from 18 outlets that used to work at the Pentagon previously and also opted to agree to the new access policy, he added.
