I wrote a few weeks back about how fundamentally screwed up our news distribution system is. I think that's the real barrier to doing the kind of journalism you describe. We don't know how to get people to read stuff online, which makes it harder to experiment, take stuff slow, go longer, etc. But I think there's a real demand for the kind of elaborate, detailed, diverse reportage. Unfortunately, on the other side, there is zero appetite by the political class to actually engage in those kind of conversations. The quality of debate and dialog has gone off a cliff.
