Does anyone think Wired does anything resembling serious journalism any more?

This is fluff. So was the previous piece about the reddit redesign.

And speaking of the redesign: you know what feature makes live chat less compelling? old.reddit.com.

Let me answer your question with a question: Does anyone that could be considered a traditional media outlet do anything resembling serious journalism anymore?

Seriously, the last major investigative reporting I've seen recently was at places like BuzzFeed.

The Guardian and the Washington Post both clearly do, off the top of my head.
The reddit redesign seemed newsworthy since it was a big (imho, broken) change in the design of one of the most popular sites on the internets.
