The web design of news websites are notoriously bad with most optimized for ad revenue rather than functionality or aesthetics. But are there any news websites that you think are well designed or at least interesting to you?

Now, I don't know if minimal or text only counts as design. But I think these types of news sites are very appealing.

#4Honestly? Hacker News.
Literally all the rest are so terrible that I only use their RSS feeds except to read specific articles.
Google News used to be pretty good, but they became terrible after that redesign they made a few years back.

#6Omni.se, it's Swedish and more of a news aggregator I guess?
Vice.com is pretty decent in my opinion
Axios.com is also pretty clean for the most part
And government / publicly-funded news I've found to be pretty clean since they tend to not have ads, e.g. svt.se

If there was a simple and obvious way to switch days, I'd be completely sold!

#10The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/). Clean layout, no ads for subscribers, native mobile apps that perform well. Overall, it's my favourite source for general news.
