I'm sure this is what newspaper - and other traditional media - owners want to hear, but I don't think it's the case. This is Sergey Brin responding to a newspaper reporter's question:

Newspapers, he said, still deliver valuable content to the world. If newspapers take the time during the transition, to figure out what the next model might be, they can have a "strong sustainable form of revenue" for the future.

The value of printed news content is diminishing all the time. News is now a 24 hour, instant on thing - newspapers rely on the pace of a daily cycle. I think that means there's really no place for a printed daily news account. I'd suggest deeper analysis, but the weekly news journals have already tried that, without a lot of success. The problem is this: Not enough people want to pay anything for news or analysis in printed form anymore. I'm not sure what business model addresses that basic problem...
