The News | Manga-Styles
By Tamiko
The argument goes that the younger gen out there no longer find reading the newspaper all that useful nor up-to-date (re: "It only comes out once a day!"). What with RSS feeds at their fingertips, people are turning away from the newsprint paper. What's a newspaper to do?
For Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun, a partial reprieve was in it's Manga No Shimbun (Manga Newspaper). It's an online manga-version of the week's top news in comic-book form. *Sigh* If only they had it while I was living in Tokyo as I was a big fan of the English edition of the Yomiuri Shimbun.
You can read the full article about Manga Newspaper at Wired Magazine (by Brian Ashcraft) and view some examples of manga news. Don't worry though--when you place your mouse over the manga, the English translation appears.

Ha! Great idea! Sort of a cross between those crazy Taiwanese CG animated news videos, and Vancouver Opera's manga interpretations of famous operas (http://www.vancouveropera.ca/operalive/read.html).
