So, besides the many negative things I could say about how bad newspaper sites yes in fact are, I have a question: is there anywhere out there a newspaper site (even local) that IS just static HTML, with unobtrusive or nonexistent ads? Like, we only need one maybe, and we could support it. Does it exist?
- wodenokoto 8y agoWhile there is some javascript in there, wikinews is pretty much a static website. https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Main_Page https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Main_Page

- bentrevor 8y agoThere is also https://text.npr.org/ https://text.npr.org/ , which was discussed here about a year ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15342758 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15342758 I thought there was a comment in there listing some other news sites that did this (besides CNN), but I skimmed and I can't find it now so I'm probably misremembering.
