You don't think a paper that advertises itself as striving to be like Walter Cronkite-era journalism would be successful?

HBO had a hit show based off that premise (The newsroom)

Maybe there was a time where this could have been possible. But this lies now in the past. The majority of people now get their news from social media and the young generation has effectively abandoned media governed by editorial staff.

Or rather: Of course it could be successful, but I doubt it would be economically viable.
