While yes, the Washington Post has become more focused on new media, its really only them and the NYTimes that have successfully transitioned (as much as one could really expect) into new media.
The websites and mobile apps for these companies are awesome, especially compared to many TV channels and other old newspapers.
Additionally, in todays day and age, its clickbait that pays the bills, but that doesn't mean that it takes away from real journalism, you just have to recognize that not ever article will be as high quality. Movie Production companies have been doing this forever, I.E. Cars 2 pays for Inside Out. Even Buzzfeed has real journalism tucked in there.
Its sad, but quality journalism both makes less money and costs more to produce, and budgets for these stories have to come from somewhere.
