The Ministry of Defense announced on Friday night that it will create an “annual media rotation program” of the internal journalism corps, which effectively led to the removal of many major media, including NBC News, from the Pentagon office spaces in favor of other ports.
In addition to NBC News, New York Times, National Public Radio and Politico should evacuate custom work spaces. In a note sent to the Press Corporation, news organizations discovered without being notified individually, and the accompanying email included a letter of reading, partly, “additional information will not be provided at this time.”
“For more than half a century, the Pentagon Press Corps benefited from work outside the spaces of individual offices that provide desired and open access to some of the major military and civilian leaders in the department,” the Pentagon spokesman John Ullenth read to the Pentagon sent the Press Association.
“In order to expand the scope of access to the limited area of the correspondent corridors to the outlets that have not previously enjoyed the privilege and value of work in the field of physical offices in the Pentagon, starting from February 14, 2025”, Ullewat wrote, there will be “an annual alternate program for the annual media of these designated media spaces .
In a statement, NBC News said: “We are disappointed about the decision to deprive us of reaching a broadcast of broadcasting in the Pentagon that we used for decades. Despite the great obstacles that this presents our ability to collect news and report it in the national public interest, we will continue to report The same integrity and Rigor NBC News always.
The move comes by Pentagon officials seven days after the Senate Minister, Defense Minister Beit Higseth, confirmed the narrowest margins. After weeks of coverage about his behavior and his treatment of women, including allegations that his consumption of alcohol disturbed his colleagues and his second wife, he feared her safety around him. Higseth has denied these allegations.
NBC News mentioned some allegations against HegSeth.
The memorandum has identified rotating organizations by medium – choosing one of both TV, printing, radio and online news to switch and out. She said that the news organizations around them were in front of them for two weeks to evacuate their spaces.
The new ports that revolve around the American One America – which will take NBC News – The New York Post, Breitbart News Network and HuffPost.
Three of the new ports conservative, while the progressive HuffPost tends.
The spokesperson for Grams said that HuffPost has no correspondent for the Pentagon, and the site did not ask for space.
“If the Trump administration and Higseth Secretary are interested in more intense coverage of their supervision of the Ministry of Defense than HuffPost, we are ready to surrender,” Grams said.
A spokesman for Onerica News said in a statement that the news port has managed an office in Washington since 2013, and he “is looking to reach the area of the physical offices in the Pentagon and will use the accommodation for full time once it is available.”
NBC News has reached other news to comment.
The memorandum did not include more details about the new “rotation program” process, including how officials choose outlets required to cancel the office area of office space before rotating it again to the building.
NBC News has held the Pentagon’s work space for decades, which enabled the network to broadcast the press throughout the day and within minutes of urgent news. “Kiosk”, as it is called, sequences with technical equipment, phone lines, and camera installed by NBC.
It is not clear whether NBC News has the technical ability to broadcast from the Pentagon by wiping its equipment from its work area.
Ullyot noted that the wrong ports are still members of the Pentagon Press Corps, and this means, in part, “they will be able to attend and cover the surroundings and looked at traveling with civilian and military leaders in the department as previously.”
The Pentagon Press Association issued a statement on Friday evening: “The Press Corps has expanded significantly over the years, and we have always welcomed new members and we will continue to do so.”
The statement said: “We are very concerned because of this unprecedented step by the Ministry of Defense to exchange very professional media, which covered the Pentagon for decades, in light of the republican and democratic departments.” “We have requested a meeting and we will keep everyone aware.”
At its first press conference this week, White House press secretary Caroline Levit said that the administration of President Donald Trump “opens the briefing room for new media voices.” The first person I called is Mike Allen from Axius – a long -term political journalist at a prevailing position – and Boyle died from Bpriert, a conservative site.
Levitte also said her team was “hard to restore the Press Press 440 of the journalists whose permits were incorrectly nullified by the previous administration.”
