Salon would be a good name to repurpose.

I’d like to see a better way to shutter journalism. Some kind of entity, possibly distributed, similar to archives that: holds domain names, fixes link rot, removes all formatting caused by dead ads, and hosts the actual content that had been abandoned or donated;, while also offering new navigation and discoverability through the collections. Ideally a single CMS replacing for all the articles.

It could be partially funded through libraries similar to perma.cc and look a bit like Wikipedia/longform/longreads.
