The Washington Post, CNN, Hill and War Zone will be lost this year under an expanded “media circulation program” in the Pentagon, which has been established by the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegast.
The circulation has replaced several right -wing and clearly supporting Trump’s media outlets, which had no work space in the Pentagon before.
On Friday’s announcement, some journalists criticized scoring political points and penalizing the tough -minded news.
These changes only affect the workplace, not the credentials, so journalists from the affected shops will not lose access to military officials and press briefings.
CNN said in a statement that “CNN’s mission to report about the Defense, the US Army and the Trump administration will continue regarding the arrangements of the office. I will not go away from my duty to keep it.
When it was announced a week ago, four outlets were demanded in the circulation program to abandon their place this year.
This month, an American news network will replace NBC News in the rest of the year. Brett Bart will replace national public radio. The New York Post will replace the New York Times. And the Huff post will replace the Politico.
There is a progressive inclination in the Huff Post, but all the other beneficiaries are all Trump -growing brands that are replacing them.
The workpace is provided by the Pentagon, so there is little convenience in the media outlets, especially because the credentials are not being canceled. Yet, the many benefits of “stable presence within the building” get the many benefits, CNN Pentagon’s former representative Barbara Star wrote In an article for Columbia journalism review. This means that “the reporters who cover the Pentagon can keep in touch with reliable sources throughout the day and are ready to write the news quickly. This is a very valuable relationship, all The important thing is for informed people.
Earlier this week, representatives from several newsrooms met with Pentagon officials and expressed concern over the circulation program.
In a concern the building included the “strategic damage” of losing office space.
In response, Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Elevat said Friday night that he was doubling the number of rotating shops, “to minimize any strategic damage.”
In a two -page memo, he said the Washington Post would be a very small post, a Washington Examiner.
CNN’s replacement news Max is a lower -level channel that has a low -level channel with Trump’s supporter currency.
The hill and war zone will be replaced by free press and daily collar.
Eleight’s memo emphasized that this circulation “does not cancel a single press certificate and that the Pentagon has no restriction on access to certified journalists covering public programs. The Pentagon Press Corps will be a full member of the shops that vacate the vacant spaces.
Fox News, where Hegsith worked for almost a decade, will retain his office.
