New York Times says it ‘will be going back to court’ after defense department hastily announces new arrangement
Journalists who cover the Pentagon are pushing back against a new press access arrangement hastily announced by the Pentagon, calling it “an end run” around a federal judge’s ruling to restore their access.
Sean Parnell, the chief Pentagon spokesperson, announced on Monday night that the department would permanently close a designated work space for journalists known as “correspondents’ corridor” and create a “new and improved press workspace” in an annex facility outside the building.
