What happened to the Snowden archive

A detailed investigative account traces what became of the Snowden archive across the outlets that received it: the Guardian, Washington Post, New York Times, ProPublica, Der Spiegel, and The Intercept. It documents the destruction of the Guardian's London hard drives under GCHQ supervision, Barton Gellman's elaborate physical security measures at the Washington Post, the shifting and contradictory reasons Greenwald and First Look Media gave for shutting down The Intercept's Snowden research team in 2019, and the unresolved question of why roughly 99% of the estimated hundreds of thousands of documents remain unpublished despite Greenwald and Poitras both saying copies still exist and hold significant unreported material.
