Display issues aside, I personally find this format far superior to a typical listicle you might find on the ad-revenue-driven web, with banner ads between every item and a heap of JS running on your page for no reason.
Presenting it as a single-page text structured as:
Article name
Article source, author
Article subject matter
would be much easier on the eyes. And they could put an ad way down below if they wanted to or on the side. (Or no ad at all.)
