Strictly speaking it's not "the newspaper" saying this, but an op-ed contributor:

Newspapers don't necessarily agree with the views they publish – though presumably they found this an interesting piece regardless.

Maybe instead of following web-native properties and cable news with 24/7 coverage, newspaper editors wish we all could go back to a daily digest (and a weekly recap with more soft news) of yesterday's events.

I know I do, sometimes.

Well they are just appealing to a kind of Internet hipster that will likely continue reading them anyway.
