I get most of my daily news from ... Teletext [1]. I'm lucky to be in a country that still has it.

I much prefer that format over news sites on the web: Headlines are often laid out in a list one entry below the other, which is easy to read through without having to scroll. Because pages are limited to 40 columns × 24 rows, every article is short and to the point.

I don't usually read it on TV though but on a web-site [2] which has transformed page numbers into hyperlinks, and given multi-pages a tab-like interface. There are still no images, no ads ... and especially no auto-playing videos. Perfect!

Recently though, I've spent a lot of time in a hospital bed and it has been easier for me then to use the TV remote with one hand to check teletext than to use the tablet or smartphone.

We have teletext in Spain too, (several of them) but as a "Computer" alternative I use EFE's (state news agency) RSS under sfeed+uxterm with the Unifont font.

Pretty close to our different Teletext services.

This is the better version, since it delivers actual text instead of png's: https://text.orf.at
