Reddit, like HN, actually deals with a huge range of sources where all the content is written very differently. News sites are written consistently. All news stories follow the same format, with the first paragraphs summarising the story. The news site knows if a picture in the story is relevant. Reddit & HN actually tell us nothing about the best format for news because they quite literally can't serve their links up in a format like this. Each source is too different. Though I also think it's too busy. But I do not agree at all that HN or Reddit can tell us anything about news sites.
