The New York Times urged the U.S. District Court in Washington on Monday to rule in its favor in a case that the company brought last month against the Pentagon and that is now on track to be heard by a judge in March.
The Times has said restrictions imposed by the Pentagon in October infringe on the constitutional rights of journalists. The company largely echoed those arguments in a filing late on Monday, saying the Defense Department’s policy “aims to suppress independent journalism that seeks to report any information beyond what the department has approved for public release.”
