It is not about the publication. Articles published by any publication, by any author, need to be evaluated on their own merits.

My point still stands. The author of this article: - conducts interviews with primary sources and provides direction quotation in the article. - reports on number previously unknown to the public - provides historical chronology of events so readers can understand

I ask again, what would be required for this piece to "count as journalism"?
