What you are describing is already done as a news magazine. Take away the immediate snippets of news and focus on indepth stories? Well, now you are running another Time, NewsWeek, Economist, etc..

How are those businesses doing?

The problem is they didn't follow the first step.

And yes, that is what I'm suggesting, that newspapers evolve into daily news magazines, albeit online. I understand that there won't be enough room for all the existing brands in this space, especially with focuses that aren't local. Such is the harsh reality of the free market.
