The Department of Defense has unveiled a “new media” press corps, largely made up of conservative news organizations, after new policies introduced for journalists covering the agency prompted many to walk out rather than accept the department’s conditions.

Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell announced on X on Wednesday that “over 60 journalists, representing a broad spectrum of new media outlets and independent journalists, have signed the Pentagon’s media access policy and will be joining the new Pentagon press corps.” He noted that 26 of these journalists already had access to the Pentagon and had previously signed its press policy.

The policy, which places new restrictions on journalists’ access and prohibits them from seeking unauthorized information from the agency, even if unclassified, drew warnings from media organizations, and most Pentagon reporters declined to sign it.

Parnell confirmed that all journalists in the newly announced “next generation” of the Pentagon press corps have agreed to the policy.

The streaming service , established by President Donald Trump ally Mike Lindell, confirmed its participation on X, as did the , the , , Turning Point USA’s media brand , and .

Right-wing political commentator Tim Pool’s podcast Timcast; Washington Reporter, a newsletter on Substack; and the National Pulse also confirmed to the Washington that they signed the policy.

Parnell stated that a number of “independent journalists” also signed on, but their identities have not been disclosed.

The Pentagon did not immediately respond to TIME’s request for further details regarding the signatories.

“New media outlets and independent journalists have created the formula to circumvent the lies of the mainstream media and get real news directly to the American people,” Parnell wrote. “Their reach and impact collectively are far more effective and balanced than the self-righteous media who chose to self-deport from the Pentagon.”

A number of journalists criticized the agency after it rolled out its new requirements for Pentagon reporters. The Administration described the restrictions as “common sense” and said they were intended to regulate a “very disruptive” press, but they raised alarm among media organizations. The Pentagon Press Association, which represents journalists covering the department, asserted they “appear designed to stifle a free press and potentially expose us to prosecution for simply doing our jobs.” After surrendering their badges, dozens of journalists packed boxes and departed the Pentagon at 4 p.m. last Wednesday, the deadline set by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to leave the building.

Only 15 people had endorsed the policy the day after the walkout. Conservative outlets OAN, The Federalist, and The Epoch Times were included on that list, along with foreign outlets and independent journalists.

Trump has supported the new media policy, stating that “the press is very dishonest.”

Months before the policy was introduced, the Trump Administration instructed outlets such as CNN, the Post, and The Hill to vacate their spaces in the Pentagon in February, while more conservative outlets such as the Washington Examiner and The Daily Caller moved in.

The White House has made other moves to redirect coverage of the Administration away from traditional media outlets, offering briefings for influencers and non-traditional media and including a new media seat in the briefing room that has been occupied by influencers, YouTubers, and newer yet mainstream outlets like Semafor and Axios.

“Americans have largely abandoned digesting their news through the lens of activists who masquerade as journalists in the mainstream media. We look forward to beginning a fresh relationship with members of the new Pentagon press corps,” Parnell’s announcement concluded.
