Pentagon PR Official Takes Control of Stars and Stripes
Original: Pentagon PR Official Takes Over Stars and Stripes Months After Editor, Publisher Kicked Out
A Pentagon public affairs official has been installed to lead Stars and Stripes, the independent-minded military newspaper, months after its editor and publisher were removed. The move raises concerns among press freedom advocates about political oversight of a publication that serves US troops and has historically operated with editorial independence from the Defense Department chain of command.
Why now: The appointment follows the abrupt removal of the paper's top editors, fueling debate about Defense Department interference in military journalism.
