Defense One reporters will turn in their Pentagon passes today rather than sign a Defense Department agreement that threatens to punish them for routine but vital journalism. This morning, we joined seven other defense-oriented publications in a statement:

Tom Bowman has held his Pentagon press pass for 28 years. He says the Pentagon's new media policy makes it impossible to be a journalist, which means finding out what's really going on behind the scenes and not accepting wholesale what any government or administration says. n.pr/4q87Jwb

On Monday our union came to the table ready to bargain with management, six weeks after they last gave us a meeting. We sent them a counterproposal last week in which we compromised considerably on our very reasonable demands, expecting them to find some middle ground with us. 1/3

I think the Pentagon press corps needs to consult with noted First Amendment scholar Walter Sobchak.

Media has been hollowed out from the bottom and a lot of that was beat reporting and grassroots stuff. The top is left without much to support it. There are about a fifth as many reporters per capita compared to 25 years ago.
This is something I’ve thought about A LOT lately- the kinds of essential reporting that large traditional media has inexplicably stopped doing. For example, why aren’t there more reporters in the streets of DC, describing what it’s like? It’s truly dumbfounding
Investigative stuff is why I subscribe to independent media, including the handbasket. For me reason, large media with 1000x the resources will never do what I want, which is tell me what's what, who's who, and who's a little bitch.
