> if the article is true and worth discussing, it will be reported by a more reputable organization (e.g. Reuters) or it’s a primary source that should be posted directly

The primary source of investigative journalism is the newspaper.

Yes, but sometimes they paraphrase an article from a different news organization, and other times they’re not trustworthy.

If a NY Times article is corroborated or even paraphrased itself by a more trustworthy organization, or has direct links to multiple primary sources, I wouldn’t mind. Except the NY Times article is still paywalled, and there may be a source that’s not, in which case I still think that source should be submitted instead.
