Journalists barred from Pentagon press office: States that it has been designated as a 'Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility'

The Pentagon has restricted media access further. Its press office has been redesignated as a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility. This move prevents journalists from entering the area. Speechwriters who handle sensitive information now occupy the space. This follows ongoing tensions between the media and the administration. The New York Times has filed a lawsuit over escort requirements for reporters.
