Several major news organizations, including The New York Times, The Associated Press, and Newsmax, have announced that they will not sign a new document from the Defense Department outlining its press rules.
These outlets, also including The Washington Post, The Atlantic, and Reuters, claim that the policy threatens to punish them for routine news gathering protected by the First Amendment.
The Washington Post, The Atlantic and Reuters on Monday also publicly joined the group that says it will not be signing.
The refusal to sign the document may lead to the Trump administration evicting their reporters from the Pentagon.
