A random archive of the New York Times frontpage in 2005 is 300kb. Articles were probably comparable in size.

Are you honestly saying that the landscape of the internet and/or the staffing needs of the NY Times has changed so drastically that they actually needed a 22x increase in size to deliver fundamentally text-based reporting?

I mean, if most of that is a few images, then those images could just be bigger today for nicer screens and faster internet.

Not that that is the case.
