Just in a basic sense. The NYT employs X people, sells to Y people, etc. Those are people who won't be employed by someone else, people who won't buy another paper. There's a sort of critical mass of "news" that can be made. We can't all be investigative journalists. So whatever that would be here instead of the NYT might be different, it might not be worse. It could be just as good, just different. Of course, it could be worse. It could be better. We can't know.
