The Met Police had sought a court order for material from outlets including Sky News as detectives investigate Shamima Begum.
While she was aware of beheadings and executions being carried out by the extremists, she said she was"okay with it" because she had heard"Islamically that is allowed".
At a hearing at the Old Bailey last month, lawyers for Scotland Yard applied to have unpublished material from these interviews handed to counter-terrorism command under the Terrorism Act 2000. Gavin Miller, for Sky, ITN and The Times, said the order would deprive journalists of their neutrality and place them at risk by making them de facto actors of the state.
Judge Mark Dennis QC ruled on Wednesday that no one would be required to hand over any material to the police.
