I see HTML (even with images) via NNTP in my news reader.  In correct
MIME containers this is possible but may not be wanted in some groups.

Some software already seems to compose MIME multipart-alternative
structures with a HTML and plain text variant of the same contents.

UTF-8 and MIME won't go away any more.

But that proves, that news in general has not avoided to evolve.
