That's an interesting idea; though the feasibility is leaky for something that is even blocked on the internet. Of course, internet offers much more than paper media, especially for XYS.
So functionally, pragmatically, financially, academically, socially and psychologically, what counts for the success of a media? The delivery of information, what how whom when where.
Let's first examine what information is to be delivered. XYS has been telling people who the bad guys are. Yes, this is great. Is there anything deeper? Folks have been told about good guys and bad guys for two millenniums, in some places by the churches, some places by the emperors. If you were a teenager student or a peasant like my dad, how do you know whom to believe? Well, except few twisted souls, lay people do reason. They only need reliable information and a good methodology, a methodology that infers relations not revelations between events, a methodology that tells the facts from fictions, a methodology that yields knowledge not illusions. Then, this has to be the methodology of science.
So, the delivery of reliable information and the methodology of science is a fundamental issue for a modern society. This fundamental issue can be and should be expanded far beyond the XYS platform. In terms of media operation in mainland China, "what" and "whom" are optimal, while "when" and "where" are suboptimal but feasible. As long as you get a good "how", great enterprises are in the reach. I am talking about not only the business, but also an intellectual leadership.
