The New York Times is a glorified blogging platform. Not to long ago it was a Wordpress site.

I'm fully aware of how jaring it is for the median HN reader to hear this, but maintenance of a news website isn't the kind of skilled labour that commands a 250k a year paycheck anymore.

Perhaps but they do serve their blog at scale, including video and interactive widgets. They’re the most popular of the news blogs.

It’s not rocket engineering but it’s not nothing.
