Watch: Stars and Stripes editor Erik Slavin speaks to the BBC after his dismissal The editor-in-chief of US military newspaper Stars and Stripes has told the BBC of his concern over censorship a day after being dismissed by the US Department of Defense (DoD) for "insubordination".
观看：《星条旗报》主编埃里克·斯拉文在被解雇后接受BBC采访 美国军方报纸《星条旗报》的主编在被美国国防部（DoD）以"违抗命令"解雇的第二天后，向BBC表达了对审查制度的担忧。
"This is a time when we really need to hear what's happening," Erik Slavin said, adding that Pentagon officials appeared to be "less and less inclined to speak on the record".
埃里克·斯拉文说："现在正是我们真正需要听清发生了什么的时候，"并补充说五角大楼官员似乎"越来越不愿意公开发言"。
Slavin says he believes he was fired for having stated in an interview that "in a hypothetical situation, censorship would be a red line".

A reporter and the paper's publisher were also sacked. The Pentagon told the BBC it would not comment.
一名记者和报社出版人也被解雇。 五角大楼告诉BBC，他们不会置评。
But the sackings come amid tension between the Trump administration and the US media. Stars and Stripes provides news to US troops around the world Even though partially funded by the Pentagon, Stars and Stripes has been editorially independent - through a congressional mandate and DoD rules.
但这些解雇正值特朗普政府与美国媒体之间的紧张关系之际。 《星条旗报》为全球美军提供新闻 尽管部分资金来自五角大楼，《星条旗报》在编辑上一直保持独立——通过国会授权和国防部规则。
The newspaper's Middle East reporter Lara Korte said she had also been told she was fired.
该报中东记者拉拉·科尔特表示，她也被告知被解雇。
Both Slavin and Korte say their dismissals - both for insubordination - relate to an interview they gave to CBS's Sunday Morning programme last month, according to the BBC's US partner CBS News.
斯拉文和科尔特都表示，他们因违抗命令被解雇，原因与他们上月接受CBS周日早晨节目采访有关，据BBC美国合作伙伴CBS新闻报道。

他于周二宣布退休，称他对报纸价值和使命的理解在"根本方面"与五角大楼的出版计划有所不同。
Slavin, who has worked for the paper for 21 years, told the PM programme that he had not been given an official explanation for his dismissal - and was considering his response even though he was not allowed to appeal.
斯拉文在该报工作了21年，他在《总理》节目中表示，他尚未获得官方解雇解释——尽管他不被允许上诉，仍在考虑如何回应。
He said he did not know if it had to do with his paper's original reporting of conditions aboard USS Abraham Lincoln - the warship which has been deployed in the Gulf for months as the US-Israeli war with Iran continues.
他说，他不知道这是否与报纸最初报道的亚伯拉罕·林肯号战舰上的状况有关——这艘军舰已在海湾部署数月，而美以战争仍在持续。
The vessel has spent a record-setting uninterrupted time at sea of more than 240 days and family members of sailors aboard have expressed concern about their mental health, with some sailors having reportedly attempted to jump overboard.
该船已连续在海上航行超过240天，船员家属表达了对心理健康的担忧，据报道部分水手试图跳海。
But Slavin said his dismissal came in a climate where the Pentagon had not had a press conference since May, and where journalists had refused attempts to interfere with their reporting.
但斯拉文表示，他的解雇发生在五角大楼自五月以来未举行新闻发布会、记者们拒绝干预其报道的氛围中。
For her part, Korte wrote on X: "It's a shame for the institution and service members, who swore to defend the Constitution and deserve the right to a free and independent press."
科尔特在X上写道："这对发誓捍卫宪法、理应享有自由独立新闻权利的机构和军人来说是耻辱。"
The president of the National Press Club, Mark Schoeff Jr, described Slavin's firing as "another brazen attempt by the Pentagon to dictate coverage of the military and should be immediately reversed".
国家新闻俱乐部主席马克·舍夫二世称斯拉文的解雇是"五角大楼又一次公然试图主导军方报道的行为，应立即撤销"。
