"news blog"
I don't see any way that an online newspaper like that can be called a blog.
I would be surprised if even a tiny handful of people who read the Guardian online every day thought of it as a blog.
When any General article is posted, pages such as "the Guardian" uses the term "News Blog". So, I don't think the terminology is wrong in any sense.
