WASHINGTON, Feb 7 (Reuters) - The U.S. Defense Department on Friday doubled the number of news organizations that must vacate their Pentagon office spaces to be replaced by other media outlets under a new "annual media rotation program."
The department said in a memo it was adding CNN, The Washington Post, The Hill and the War Zone to the outlets that must give up their dedicated space. Those organizations did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
In the first round, the Defense Department said
a week ago The New York Times, NBC News, POLITICO and the National Public Radio had to vacate their dedicated workspaces at the Pentagon.
Incoming media outlets include the New York Post, Breitbart, the Washington Examiner, the Free Press, the Daily Caller, Newsmax, the Huffington Post and One America News Network, most of whom are seen as conservative or favoring Republican President Donald Trump, who took office on Jan. 20.
