In these cases the content of the web page is extracted and shown with custom styling.

To get the same result you can use something like DIFFBOT (which I think is used in the News app) or Embedly which is cheaper, and get the content parsed and returned nice and structured. After that you'll have to style it yourself.

You can style it by "converting" it from HTML and show it in a TextBlock, or you can show it in a WebView.

EDIT:
You can use something like HtmlUtilities.ConvertToText to get the text from the HTML. I think you can convert one section at a time, that way you can style headers and such.
