Upping your storage to 64GB makes things a bit more comfortable.
As well as that, if reading the news and browsing websites are your main iPad activities, 32GB should be adequate for your needs. This storage option is probably too little for most people, but it is fine if you mainly use your iPad for streaming where content is not stored directly on your device.
