WikiNews struggles from a lack of contributors, yes. I don't think creating a competing site is going to help that.

Why not? If nothing else, the new news site is, itself, news, which could serve as a PR boost to attract new contributors. Wikinews is old hat, nobody is going to start contributing there now.

A new site with a fresh start has a better chance of widening its contributorship.
