If you can learn 20 kanji per week without missing a week, you will get enough kanji to read the newspaper in about two years. But 20 kanji/week for two years will really wear you down. You'll likely end up doing, on average, 10 at best. This means four years.
I'm not trying to discourage you. Instead, I'm just warning you ahead of time so you can be prepared. If you know what you're getting into, it's easier to persevere.

omg, you majored in Japanese at university and still have troubles watching the news?
This is bad news for me, sounds like learning Japanese is a bad choice.
