> 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.
Both should be submitted. I’m going to upvote the better source. Which more often than not, is the one that predominantly pays itself from subscribers versus ads.
