Nowadays newspapers are no longer just circulated in the newsstands. They went digital, too. You can read all major newspaper online, most for free. Any serious English learners, especially those in advanced level, would take advantage of it and read at least one good-quality English newspapers everyday. It’s a necessity. No one has ever learned a decent English by going with the ESL textbooks only, even the best ones.
Going digital also frees newspaper from the written words. Several newspaper started to report in short video format along with the text. This brought out a side benefit for English learners, as the video reports are great listening comprehension materials.
We strongly recommend two of them: New York Times and Wall Street Journal. Both have done the video reports as good as their written articles. The videos are usually a few minutes long and easy to follow. You can watch the videos at their websites. Or more conveniently, each has a channel at YouTube and hosts the video reports there. The links are the Times and the Journal.
