A US jury found Tuesday that The New York Times did not libel former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin in a 2017 editorial she claimed damaged her reputation, the paper said.

In its editorial the Times linked a 2011 shooting in Arizona that killed six people and wounded lawmaker Gabby Giffords with an advertisement run by Palin's political action committee.
