Looking for newspaper editorials to read in preparation for this year's JLPT, I discovered some very interesting sites where they compare editorials from different Japanese newspapers, and thought probably some people here would find that interesting too.

Some even compile editorials according to date and topic, so you can see the stance of each different media and compare them.

Here is one example, where they even put different editorials side by side, so the comparation is easier:

社説比較くん

I didn't know that there are even apps for mobile devices to read editorials from different Japanese newspapers. For IOS I found "たてコラム" and "社説リーダー", which lets you save articles to Evernote or open them in your browser, where you can use a service like Pocket to save them for offline reading (which works better, since you can't zoom or select text within 社説りーだー).

Do you have other interesting resources for this kind of text?

Bump.

Just because 社説 (editorials) in general and 社説比較くん deserve it.

Has any of one spent some time reading 社説? What do you think of them?
