However, producing a newspaper is the same process, regardless of whether it's a regional or a national title. The national title requires more staff to make it happen but the process is not new; it is well understood and not at all complicated for an organisation with sufficient staff and expertise to pull off.
I'm surprised you're not already aware of this, given your family connections.

It is easy to pull off on a local level, where the logistics are in place, and it only takes paying overtime to staff to do another press run.
However with a national paper it takes a huge amount of logistical organisation. Although the print run probably isn't any more of a problem than it is for a local paper.
I'm not saying it would be impossible, but it would cause many problems. It would be very nieve of anyone to think that senior management hadn't been planning this for a long time.

I think you are probably right. Many people (including myself) predicted it on that very day. So it certainly didn't come out of the blue for senior management.
