I'm looking for examples of really non generic looking news websites, if there are any!

Bloomberg circa 2015 took some really bold chances, but it got dialed back pretty fast. https://www.wired.com/2015/02/haters-side-bloombergs-loud-re...

I recently discovered https://pudding.cool/

Really cool stuff

https://www.usatoday.com/ desktop site was leagues ahead of many news sites when it first launched around 2012, and might still be.
