It's better to choose WordPress with a hosting service for creating a news website. While Blogspot (Blogger) is still a viable platform for blogging, WordPress offers more flexibility, customization options, and scalability for a news website. Additionally, WordPress has a wide range of plugins and themes specifically designed for news sites, making it a popular choice for this type of project.
Regarding why you don't see as many blogs hosted on Blogspot as before, it could be due to several reasons. One factor might be the increasing popularity of other platforms like WordPress, which offer more features and control over website design and content. Additionally, some bloggers may have migrated to self-hosted WordPress sites for greater ownership and control of their content. However, Blogspot is still used by many bloggers, so it's not obsolete; it just depends on your specific needs and preferences.

Just use WordPress, it has better themes and you can have more options to optimize it and many plugins to choose from.

You can use the Newspaper theme from ThemeForest to use on your news website.
If you want, I can upload it here for free.
