Social media dominates news consumption in Indonesia as TikTok surges

So, have you ever said to yourself, "Self, I wish that I could read online news more like a newspaper? Well do I have your ticket!

Backstory: I frequently read news headlines/stories for a friend no longer able to read. Among the news sources is CNN, particularly its "lite" headlines page. Though I found myself frustrated that 1) there is no context other than the headline, 2) the headlines themselves are utterly unorganised, and 3) a huge portion of them are fluff (sport, entertainment, style, food, etc.). I was hoping I might be able to do better. I'd hinted at this a few months ago on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42535359.

One bright note is that CNN's URLs contain much of the organising information already, with section heading as well as the date (YYYY/MM/DD). Parsing those is a Simple Matter of Programming (SMOP). Organising them takes ... a bit more work, but what I ended up with my Mark I implementation was the "lite" headlines page organised by section, with the sections themselves ordered by my own interest in them. That alone was a vast improvement.

I still wanted to go further; in particular, I wanted to include lede 'graph context for stories. Which meant pulling down the related articles themselves. ...

... Which I've spent the past few days doing.

Mark II such as it is consists of a few shell scripts to pull, parse, and generate the website. What I've laid out is very much styled as a classic newspaper: all text, no images, and of course, no ads. It takes a few minutes to update the page, which I then view locally, or copy to my e-ink tablet. For those wondering, no, this is not publicly available. (Yet?)

What's curious for me is how much saner this presentation is than virtually any current online news site, most of which far more resemble picture galleries (with utterly gratuitous images) than information services. The ability, as with the days of print newspapers, to glean the main gist of a story without having to click through, and then ward off cookie, paywall, TOU, nag, autoplay video/audio, dickbars, etc., etc., provides a cognitive ease that's hard to express.

This is also giving me pause to consider why online news looks and acts the way it does, both in terms of UI/UX and content, to which I can only suggest that virtually all the incentives are perverse, on both the publisher and reader perspectives.

Screenshots show a general sense of the layout as well as detail views of parts of the page. There are still some layout glitches (I've been writing Flexbox CSS for approximately a week now 😺 ), but I'm pretty happy with it, and much happier than with the original. Oh, and the design is remarkably responsive even without @media queries.

(There's more design work in the page itself, including internal cross-references and URL rewrites to the https://lite.cnn.com/ page itself, some of which I'm fairly chuffed about, but ... screenshots for now.)

Thoughts are now toward a news-page generator which incorporates a number of different sources, with some sense of categorisation and prioritisation applied to those. Still sorting how to proceed on that.

Oh, and preempting questions about why this particular site and its quality:

CNN is easily parseable and not paywalled. There area other options which fail one or both of these tests, e.g., NPR has nonsemantic URLs, the NY Times is parseable but paywalled, etc. I'm working with what is to hand but am more than open to better alternatives.

The HN link above includes stats on the section distribution itself, which ... is less than ideal, as well as the substantvity of much of what remains (dittos). F'rex, a couple of days ago, one of the three "Science" stories ... largely revolved around a spaced-out pop singeress. Not exactly what I'd call hard-hitting content. Three months on the relative percentage still hold. Aggregating those to larger groupings, the overall article breakdown as of this posting is:

• US: 1984 (29.94%)
• World: 1311 (19.79%)
• Business: 977 (14.74%) (Economy|Business|Markets|Tech|Cars|Investing|Media)
• Science: 557 (8.41%) (Science|Climate|Weather|Health)
• Trivia: 1796 (27.11%) (Travel|Food|Homes|Entertainment|Sport|Style|CNN)
• Total: Total: 6625

(For those summing totals: there's one "unclassified" story, an opinion piece.)

Ich hab ja Paywalls gern verteidigt und fand die reflexartige Kritik immer blöd. Die Presse muss ja finanziert werden und Abos gefallen mir persönlich besser als Werbung. Aber diese Warnung kann ich nachvollziehen und das Szenario gefällt mir gar nicht. Ein #SpotifyFürDenJournalismus klingt da tatsächlich nach einer bedenkenswerten Alternative, oder?

This week, we began second reading debate of Bill C-18, which would compel Google & Facebook, the two largest websites, which capture 80 % of Canadian ad revenues, to underwrite operating costs of Canadian newsrooms. I spent 30 years as a journalist. I am passionate saving local news. But this? This is the wrong response. Watch and/or listen as I explain why. https://youtu.be/Sw44rJS2TTw #C18 #BillC18 #onlinenews #Google #Facebook #SenateofCanada #SenCa #cdnpoli #yeg #Edmonton #EdmontonJournal
