Newspapers for adolescents? Manga them!

They call Japan a newspaper-crazy country. The Yomiuri Shimbun has a circulation that's 10 times the circulation of The New York Times (not that this is saying much: the NYT circulation has nosedived these last months). But just as everywhere else the younger generations are not reading newspapers as much as their parents, here's an interesting alternative: the Manga No Shimbun.

Now how cool is that: a website employing more than a 100 Manga-artists who cover the week's news and breaking stories, updating up to 15 times a day. Available for iPhone and Android. With thanx to Wired.
