Problem is, all these suggestions that would make news sites better for Betty, would make news sites better for EVERYBODY. News sites variously depend on people clicking ads, refreshing pages, getting distracted, etc, so that they can make money / keep attention. Also - if this sort of mode was popular, people might start linking to IT instead of the normal content. Note how the printer-friendly layout of news articles at the large sites is handled in CSS now, where it used to be a link to a separate page. In the past, people shared links to the print version, out of an abundance of courtesy.
