Respectable organizations have had to cut costs, which mostly translates into cutting down on the editors, fact checkers, researchers, and anyone else that might turn a writer's workweek into ash and smoke. This will degrade their organization until it is little more authoritative than the Huffington Post (or already has), but with the added overhead of the legacy newspaper infrastructure.

And the doesn't help that the new breed of activist-journalists actively rebel against those that try to maintain standards.

In a very real sense the New York Times died years ago and a tabloid now inhabits the vacant shell of a building.
