So you want qualified expert content producers working on producing top quality learning and educational material? Well our great market tells us this is only possible at Pixar or HBO or Weta in the service of fantasy and nothing else. Khan Academy and Wikipedia type models are what is left to serve everything else.

Additional data point: affiliate-compensated reviews of high value consumer items, e.g. http://wirecutter.com (now owned by NY Times) and http://dpreview.com (digital cameras). These are not cross-media, but require expensive research and good summaries.
