These are interactive news stories.
You didn’t have an alternative in 2001 to flash for interactive media online and the source material is flash.
It’s the walled garden they supported. What about Facebook comments on their articles? Think the realization that the internet is hard to keep immutable. These companies chose to use the easiest road instead of the best road and they are now paying the price.
As long they are more concerned with a/b testing their headlines then using more open standards I find it weird that blame flash for it.
Perhaps they should talk to musea instead. How they are preserving digital art.
