Not sure if I’d use it with the scrolling, since this format is ill suited for smaller screens, but I love this idea! One more suggestion for you to consider: a variant where each article is a link that takes the reader to a separate article page (like a normal web page) may be good. The use case is to have this print layout to skim through headlines and snippets, and dig into an article by itself if one wants to read more (and the article doesn’t fit within the non-scrolling area).
