The Trump administration broke trend regarding media journalists working from office positions within the Pentagon. The New York Times, National Public Radio, NBC news, and Politico were told to vacate their spaces no later than February 14, 2025. The New York Post, One American News Network, Breitbart, and HuffPost News will take over these slots. The Pentagon plans on cycling different news organizations through these office spaces on an annual basis.<\/p>\n

Each year going forward, one outlet from print, online, television and radio will rotate out of the Pentagon “to allow a new outlet from the same medium that has not had the unique opportunity to report as a resident member of the Pentagon Press Corps,” the memo said.<\/p>\n

“We’re disappointed by the decision to deny us access to a broadcasting booth at the Pentagon that we’ve used for many decades,” an NBC News spokesperson said by email. “Despite the significant obstacles this presents to our ability to gather and report news in the national public interest, we will continue to report with the same integrity and rigor NBC News always has.”<\/p>\n

The New York Times said it remained committed to covering the Pentagon “fully and fairly” despite the move.<\/p>\n

“Steps designed to impede access are clearly not in the public interest,” the Times said in a statement.<\/p>\n

NPR called on the Defense Department to expand office space available so that all media outlets covering the Pentagon receive equal access.<\/p>\n

“This decision interferes with the ability of millions of Americans to directly hear from Pentagon leadership,” it said.<\/p>\n

Politico’s Senior Managing Editor Anita Kumar, in a note to staff, said the organization was troubled by the decision.<\/p>\n

“Our sole aim is to protect our ability — and the ability of serious competitors — to do rigorous reporting and follow stories where they lead,” Kumar wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
