Penta&gone: Why legacy media walked out in protest at new reporting rules
FRANCE 24's media show Scoop looks at the Pentagon and the press. For decades, press access was crucial: journalists developed a relationship with military brass, and the Department of Defense had a direct conduit to the American people. But this long-standing, mutually beneficial relationship has been threatened after new government-imposed restrictions on reporters. Our guests are former Pentagon spokesman Colonel David Lapan (Ret.) and Caitlin Vogus from the Freedom of the Press Foundation.
