Newspapers rely pretty heavily on wire services, which tend to have their own biases, but they do have reporters.

The Washington Post was one of the few remaining US newspapers with a large reporting staff scattered around the US and the world. That's why this is a loss. Thirty years ago, most major metropolitan newspapers had sizable local staffs and some national and international reporters. Now the New York Times is almost the only US newspaper with a large reporting staff.
