News from around the world in English
Our emphasis is on sources in the Asia-Pacific region plus major world news sources.
Check the news. It is not all the same everywhere.

We are in Japan and we tend to watch BBC and the U.S. news channels first, so we started this list with general news sources from the area we know best. But, we are expanding and invite your suggestions. We may also branch into specific news (economic, technical, educational, etc) if we have time and if there is any demand.This page sells nothing, but it needs traffic to justify itself, so please come back here from time to time. Click, search and do the things that will anonymously tell us that people are visiting us.
The number and quality of "news" sources turns out to be much greater than we first planned. We thus reorganized the list below by geographic sub-region and are adding more local news (if in English) sources both commercial and other. Our main focus remains Asia-Pacific, Japan centered. We welcome your comments and suggestions. But please give us some time to get things straight.
