Pentagon Restricts Journalists from Press Office, Citing Classified Space

The U.S. Department of Defense announced new restrictions on media access. Journalists are now barred from entering the Pentagon’s press office. Officials described the area as a “classified space.” The policy change was reported by Business Standard. The move limits traditional on‑site reporting for news outlets. Defense spokespeople said the restriction protects sensitive information. Reporters will need to rely on briefings and remote communications. The decision may affect how the media covers Pentagon activities.
