Not saying you're wrong, but a news site and CMS has different database requirements than many other products.
They have very few write actions; in the Guardian's case hundreds of authors publishing a few articles a day, versus millions of users reading data. Writes would be sporadic and batched.
News products also changes more rapidly than you might expect. A modern news team may be writing and shipping code to better cover a breaking news event. I can imagine why a document store would be appealing to them.
