Seriously!
In the example I'm best acquainted with, the 2011 Joplin, Missouri tornado, their early reporting was as good as anyone from the outside. In my personal photo gallery http://www.ancell-ent.com/1715_Rex_Ave_127B_Joplin/images/ the before and after pictures of my apartment complex at the end were grabbed from the Daily Mail. (EDITED from Daily Mirror.)
In general, in events where photos matter they're really good, and their copy, once you filter out the "passion" as I put it above is pretty good, especially since they don't overly try to force things into irrelevant narratives. More straight reporting than US we pretend to be objective "journalism".
I suggest you try them a few times when a "breaking" event happens, e.g. a hostage situation.
