It's a blog site with up to 10 categories,
E.g news fashion entertainment tech etc.
It is a multipurpose site but not contents are generated, e.g in editorial page, I have 4 unique writers, what do you advise, should I work more on the editorial and other similar pages, rank them and then visitors can easily navigate to view other categories/pages

It looks like you're just trying to post a lot of content and hope it ranks. General sites will never rank if they dont have auhtority. You'll be fighting newpapers etc etc.

Not sure what's the long game here, seems like you only wanted to put content on a site and hoped it rank.

You need to have targeted keyword,
let's say you want to rank at key word "how to do Alpha" than you should have main article on those keyword, than build article around this key word "what is Alpha" "why Alpha" "where is alpha"
and so on, if you just mix a bunch random article than it you are making authority site, and it is a long process to get ranked in all those keyword.

Lots of reason -

1.The site is new
2. Probably the content is copied/duplicated.
3. The content is very short ( not a HUGE problem but worth mentioning it.
4. Since its a news site it means that hundreds of other authoritative news sites are covering the same topic.
5. No relevance - I know its a news site but make sure to make some silos ( sports, politics, technology) and interlink inside the silos as much as possible.
6. No one is searching for those news.

And many more. I'm on my phone so I probably made some grammar mistakes (sorry).

It's not what's going to help you. Get your feet back on earth and work the whole plan again. Do you think you can automate a process that will make you money? Let me tell you one great rule: if you can't do it manually, you cannot automate it.

I agree with John Doe #42.
You’re recycling content that is history 12 hours after having posted them. You’ll never beat the mainstream news channels. A better idea might be to stick to evergreen topics like politics or the virus, something that will last.

I did. You’re providing recycled main stream content and wondering why you can’t rank well. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that it isn’t going to happen.
