BBC News A world leader in news reporting.
CrissCross News Japan Formerly JapanToday, this site has lots of Japanese news stories in English. Can be a little low-brow sometimes but worth reading for the "debates" that go on in the comments section. The VoxPop section is usually good for a laugh too!
The Japan Times Online version of the English language newspaper.
CNN CNN online!
Pink Is The New Blog What do you mean, celebrity gossip isn't news?

The Onion America's Finest News Source.
Engrish.com Thousands of photos of bad English from all over the world. Mostly from Japan though.

PostSecret Got something you want to get off your chest?
