I just stumbled across the DC bureau page for McClatchy Newspapers. The site ties together the organization’s original reporting, blogs, political cartoons and columns. The site has open comments, and (for now at least) no ads. Banner ads running on McClatchy properties promote the site.
(Disclosure: I compete against a McClatchy newspaper as part of the day job).

Adds Howard in comments: “The site is just a week old, and we’re planning to introduce a number of new features, mainly aimed at greater interactivity (video commentary uploads, better user generated forums, etc)… And I promise, we’re working on that part about few ads.”
