A Military Newspaper Under Editorial Control of the Pentagon

The Pentagon recently announced it would take over editorial content of Stars and Stripes, a newspaper for the U.S. military community. That's despite a congressional mandate that requires the paper to remain independent of the military chain of command. In this edition of Update-1, Broadcast Podcast team member Tom Young speaks with Stars and Stripes Editor-in-Chief Erik Slavin and ombudsman Jacqueline Smith about the role of Stars and Stripes and the importance of its ability to report freely.
