Though AP did the bulk of the reporting on this story, the addition of the NY Times report helps provide a bit more information. I could have found the same information by reading both the AP and Times report, but the E & P piece saves me a bit of time. Hence the average rating.
This article about a breaking news story from an AP reporter is preliminary. It seems to be sourced well but the fact that story is still breaking means that information is scant, though it does do a good job on giving background on Lenz's role and how he came to get the scoop.
The report has a somewhat scattershot, piecemeal quality, with story elements not well integrated. That's probably to be expected at this point in the developing story.
