The alternative to professional new outlets is not a free for all. It is to establish granular sources whose reputations hinge on their ability to give multiple sides and report known facts instead of conjecture.
NYT can't be held accountable, because they are 1000s of people under a big-tent; by-lines are hidden in small script. People like Derek Lowe, Stratchery, Sinocism and similar high-profile commentators/youtubers can be held accountable. If something goes wrong, it is their fault, and their fault only.
Youtube should embrace what its biggest strength is : granular individualized rewards. Individuals whose rigor outstrips that of major organizations should be promoted far more than traditional media houses. Afterall, they're what makes Youtube unique. If nerds playing geoguesser are better at satellite intelligence and triaging than NYT, then so be it. Geoguesser dude gets my trust.

It is to establish granular sources whose reputations hinge on their ability to give multiple sides and report known facts instead of conjecture. Many of these outlets on the internet clearly do not agree with this principle. CNN's CEO recently said only 10% of the early Gaza footage they reviewed was usable and the rest was often disinformation garbage. Plenty of these sources you allude to posted the garbage as fact and did not redact.
