NYT and WaPo are both providing little pokes from the Paradise Papers whenever they can work them into their Trump narratives. I suspect the new model is "we can't make the audience care about this abstract thing right now when there's so much concrete bullshit going on so we'll use it as a database to fill out our coverage wherever we can."

It is extremely difficult to make rank-and-file citizenry care about the particulars of how the rich are fucking them over, particularly when they have known forever that the rich are fucking them over and the ones being fucked the hardest have somehow decided a fake billionaire has their best interests at heart.
