Most of the "news" consists of repuplishing newsfeeds and press releases. There is very little investigation and analysis of most of what is printed in "the media".
If the content that is charged for is of sufficient quality, then best wishes for the commercial endeavour.

The real trick for any organisation is to work out why someone would want to come to their news page - then there is a possibility to succeed financially; you would hope the NBR of all people would realise that.
