One of the best designed online news sites is The Guardian. The use of white space is perfect, making the site is easy to read and navigate. I love the way their use of color breaks up the blocks of text without being over-bearing or amateurish. I also like the two-level top navigation, which allows for easy access to all sections without using drop-downs.

Another wonderful thing about the Guardian is that they keep their advertising tamed to primarily text ads and small graphic partnership images. They have a couple of spots where they are running flash ads for their own site, but they are fairly simple and don't suck all the bandwidth or compete for attention with the content. And, I didn't come across a single pop-up.
