Hi, for me the first question is, how static or dynamic the pages will be. If whole pages are deliverd statically, you only need to generate each page one time with TYPO3. The rest can be done by caching and load balancing. That should work. If it comes to dynamic content, blogs, votings etc. things get difficult. TYPO3 4.x is not designed for dynamic content with millions of page views. But I can imagine a fast self made layer upon TYPO3, that dynamically replaces markers in static pages generated with TYPO3. Subline: There are commercial products, that are optimized for newspapers. TYPO3 can be used as part of a software mix, that uses the strengths of TYPO3 and patches the weaknesses with creative foreign solutions.
