Actually building a drupal-based news site now. I started with the zen theme and customized it from there. BUT, what I think a lot of newspapers want is Drupal install that comes bundled with modules and is tweaked (both in workflow and presentation) to use them in a newspaper environment (subscribe to articles, related content, event calendars, geotagging, etc). If someone could produce that module bundle/customization along with a theme that is easily tweaked, there'd be a lot of money. You could probably even sell a service subscription ....

Hmm, actually that's no a bad idea ...
