If only they started this manga-cized news idea a few months earlier. Then all those town-hall meetings to "discuss and debate" health care reform in the U.S. would have been portrayed as one ginormous and brutal fighting tournament worthy of Shonen Jump. Wink

What makes this venture seem most incredulous is the fact that, amongst other things, it must presumably operate with minimal delay between the news reaching the website's editorial staff and the illustrations accompanying the reports being completed. One hopes they won't rely upon the repetition of standard images of the news anchor in order to minimise the time taken to produce the pictorial element to their product.

Well from what I understand its a daily news service, much like a newspaper. So there can be a large delay between an event and the news coming up on the site. In other words they will put the news up once a day, instead of the usual trickle over 12 hours you get on many online news services.

I could be completely wrong though, that is only something I am guessing from reading that article.

I think I'll stick with the light novel format. Wink
