Mike:

There was a time I could have accurately listed the top 25 "picture 
papers" without a moments hesitation. Now, having been out of it for 
more than a few years it be a bit iffy.

Try going to the NPPA Pictures of the Year and look for the consistent 
winners. or some of the other links here might help. You are certainly 
right about the NYT. The Dallas Morning News is a good choice as well as 
the Washington Post., L.A. Times

p.s. If motivation is a key factor then http://www.magnumphotos.com/ is 
a heck of a site. It is an agency which supplies photos to many 
publications. It really doesn't get much better than what they do.
