In this case I would say the newspaper is the primary source of the story. It draws on other primary sources for parts of it, but the story is clearly based on novel synthesis by the paper; investigative journalism is not a secondary source according to my understanding.
Original research by a reputable and significant source (i.e. this paper) is reportable.
