We at MRE are thrilled to announce that @CNN.com reporter and producer @halbritz.bsky.social has joined our board of directors. Amazingly talented and highly regarded, Haley will make a great team even better as we continue advocating for journalists at this critical juncture.

"No one will work harder, no one's going to … attempt to be more transparent with the American people and with you,” Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said before the Pentagon ended its broadcast of an ongoing town hall as the Q and A session started.

MRE offers hearty congratulations to our member Caitlin Doornbos for winning the Marie Colvin Award for Foreign Correspondence from the Newswomen’s Club of New York. Caitlin was honored for her coverage of Ukrainian troops while embedded for The New York Post.

MRE calls for news outlets to remain in dedicated spaces. Military Reporters & Editors supports accommodating more media in the Pentagon, but not at the expense of others. www.militaryreporters.org/2025/02/mre-...
