The New York Times is one of the most respected news organizations in the world, so if they're not a "professional news org", then who is?
Also, do you elaborate on your struggle with the NYT elsewhere? I'm interested, but you haven't given us much information at all.

Not anymore. The web advertising industry strongly effected the quality of their work. Now they're just another slightly larger news organization with a spotty track record.
