A Newspaper Question

dewlineThis is one of those questions that's been bugging me for a while and I want to flush out some informed, opinionated answers.
I've been wondering of late: could Ottawa do with a daily newspaper of its own that hewed to the Atkinson Principles as set out by the founder of the Toronto Star, and further developed by his successors in the century or so since its founding?
It occurs to me that the two anglophone dailies based here in Ottawa at present, useful as they often are, do not often cover the whole of certain stories for various reasons. (Sadly, I cannot speak to the francophone side of the market at present due to lack of skill as a reader. It's on my ongoing "to do" list to fix that.)
I think a paper operating on the Atkinson Principles might help remedy that, as much as Internet access already does if not more so.
Any thoughts?
