Pentagon restricts media access to press office

The Pentagon has restricted journalists' access to its press office premises, following a new decision that classifies this space as a high-security area due to the presence of sensitive and classified information.

According to US defense authorities, the measure is related to the nature of the work carried out in this office, where in addition to Pentagon spokespeople, there are also employees who prepare official statements and have access to secure communication systems and confidential materials.

For years, the press office has served as a key point of contact between the Pentagon and the media, allowing journalists to closely follow developments and receive information in real time. Under the new rules, the physical presence of media representatives in this environment will no longer be permitted.

Officials have stressed that the decision does not mean a cessation of communication with the media. Information will continue to be disseminated through press conferences, official statements and other channels of communication with Pentagon spokespeople.

However, the change has prompted reactions from media organizations and press representatives, who say that limiting physical access could affect the institution's transparency and the ability to directly report on the activities of one of the most important security structures in the United States.
