New York Times Ends Probe Into Leak Over Gaza Coverage Without Conclusive Finding

The New York Times ended its investigation into whether staffers leaked confidential information about its Gaza war coverage without any conclusive finding, Executive Editor Joe Kahn told staff Monday.

The company began its investigation after nonprofit news organization the Intercept reported that the Times had shelved an episode of its “Daily” podcast after internal debate. The episode focused on a controversial Times story by Jeffrey Gettleman and freelancers that found Hamas had weaponized sexual violence in its attacks on Israel on Oct. 7.
