Good Japanese Language News Site - Bob123 - 2015-03-08

Does anyone know of a good Japanese language news website I can use to practice reading. Preferably something at a normal adult reading level. I am most interested in news about politics. Some sort of audio with a transcript to go along with the news story would definitely be beneficial also, if such a thing exists.
Thanks

^Not necessarily at a Japanese adult reading level, but it's not like a picture book for kids. Basic everyday news

Normal NHK would work if you wanted actual adult stuff, I would assume.

http://news.tv-asahi.co.jp/ is really nice for news with high quality audio.

Great for reading the articles with the videos at the same time. They'll change a few things, like the article will have 4月, but the announcer will say 来月, but it's pretty much the same.

Thanks for the suggestions. Some of them look like they could be really helpful.

If you don't mind your news being 70 years out of date... http://cgi2.nhk.or.jp/shogenarchives/jpnews/list.cgi

I stumbled on this today. There's full transcripts for everything. It's interesting to see events from the other side.
