五角大楼新闻协会对新认证政策表达关切

摘要

五角大楼新闻协会对国防部的新认证政策表示担忧,指出这些政策可能影响新闻自由和记者的采访权限。

五角大楼新闻协会对国防部最近实施的针对报道五角大楼记者的新认证政策表达了关切。协会表示,关于修改这些政策的谈判“未能达到我们预期的成功”。

根据新指南,记者必须签署一份文件,承认未经正式授权不得披露机密或受控非机密信息。若不遵守,可能导致新闻证被吊销。该政策还规定,“国防部信息必须在公开发布前获得批准……即使是非机密信息”。

协会强调,该政策“向国防部内部所有人传达了前所未有的恐吓信息,警告不要进行任何未经批准的媒体互动,甚至暗示未经明确许可发言是犯罪行为”。

此外,协会对五角大楼计划将新闻机构从专用工作区迁出的消息表示惊讶,他们担心此举将进一步孤立记者,阻碍与消息来源及军方发言人的沟通。

五角大楼发言人肖恩·帕内尔表示,国防部已与协会进行了“善意的谈判”,保持开放对话并接受了许多建议的修改。他强调,记者无需向五角大楼审查报道内容,但需确认他们理解国防部关于信息处理的政策。

新闻机构签署修订指南的截止日期定于下周。
