Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Don't ask us. Look at your analytics.  Look at your income.  Look at your visitor counts. Look at your links, likes and social shares. One problem with big news sites is that they have waaaayyyy too much content and that makes it hard to manage.  Many of them use category pages to keep the old content available.  They have category pages for just about every city and person and organization that has ever been mentioned on their site.  Then when that topic is mentioned in a story it gets a hyperlink to the proper category page. The category pages can be enormously valuable and rank in the SERPs, pull in traffic, acquire links, likes tweets more.
