Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Court Backs Pentagon On Reporter Access Restrictions
Caption: Court Backs Pentagon On Reporter Access Restrictions. A US appeals court ruled the Pentagon can restrict journalists’ access and require escorts inside the building. The decision temporarily blocks part of a lower court ruling that had challenged the policy. The case was brought by The New York Times, which argued the rules limited press freedom. The policy requires reporters to accept conditions or risk losing access over security concerns. Officials said the restrictions aim to prevent leaks of sensitive or classified information. Judges acknowledged the rules could affect reporting and limit the flow of public information. A dissenting judge argued the Pentagon was bypassing an earlier court decision. The ruling keeps the escort requirement in place while the legal appeal continues. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
