The main news timeline is promising though, but greatly needs visual codes for differentiating and qualifying content.

Another one: "The Next Crisis"? Again, makes me think of spam. I h…
Also, you're probably not their target audience. For someone who reads business news, those "spammy" topic titles you talk about are all things e.g. a Wall Street Journal reader is familiar with and cares about.
