The Pentagon is poised to fire the publisher and editor-in-chief of Stars and Stripes — along with a Middle East reporter — citing insubordination over interviews where they defended editorial independence. The editor-in-chief called censorship of military news a “red line,” asserting the outlet’s legal and policy-backed autonomy. The reporter called the firings a “shame,” stressing service members’ right to a free press. With half its budget funded by taxpayers and reaching millions daily, Stars and Stripes has long championed independence. A new deputy vows to uphold that mission while boosting revenue and modernizing operations — even as the departing publisher, set to retire, says he was ousted for fundamental disagreements with DoD leadership.
