Read all about it!
Ani-san has another request in store for you lucky viewers.

I tried typing in newspaper in search options, and come up with hardly anything.
So is there any manmga that deals with the news and newspaper. It can be a busy newspaper or even a school paper.

Genre can anything, though an extra bonus. Just like a classic british comedy known as Drop the Dead Donkey.

Please offer me some help.
I'll greatly appreciate it folks.

Extra! Extra!

Corny right? Til later.

Rosario+Vampire - they're in the newspaper club at school and that comes up often enough. Sorry I can't think of anything good that fits...

Well, Hataraki Man has a magazine, but I guess that's not exactly what you're interested in...

How about Adolf? The protagonist is a newspaper reporter, if I recall - but the manga itself doesn't focus solely on the news. Likewise, Yawara! seems to hint at a future romance between the Judo heroine and a sports writer for a local newspaper, but the news isn't the main point...

I've a couple of newspaper recommendations, but they're all yaoi... *cough* You okay with that?

Sure.
Thank you very much for both Tartufo and Aikanaro.

Keep those requests coming folks.

Well, then...!

Best yaoi recs:

The Eyes of the Rose are Bombs - do not miss this, even if you're not usually into yaoi! Very deep, dark and yet somehow lovely... Philosophical and questioning and just... WOW. That the protagonist is gay is beside the point; this is just an awesome story.

A Morning That Rarely Comes - REALLY CUTE. SO. DAMN. CUTE. <3

Time Lag - school newspaper. Good emotional manga for teens.

Like a First Love - magazine, not newspaper, but good. Um. Cute. Uh. I JUST LIKE THE WAY THE UKE CRIES, ALRITE.

Finder - photojournalist gets into trouble with a mafia boss he's trying to capture on film. Really goddamn smutty and kinky, but a yaoi classic with gorgeous art; wouldn't normally recommend it to straight guys, though, unless they harbor some sort of morbid curiosity about bondage and ice cubes and orifices. And the mafia. Lol.

The Weatherman is My Lover - really durn cute and definitely worth reading for the comedy and the colorful characterizations alone, but this is TV news, not a newspaper... So you may not be interested. But you might be.

Not really recs, more like mentions just because they're topical/relevant:

Chikan Diary - boring and brainless, I'm afraid, but it's about a school newspaper...
Pretty Scoop! - entertaining and cute, I suppose, but only for hardened yaoi lovers.
Be Careful of the Young Master - okay, but I find the whole sex-for-news thing weird.
Morning Kiss - can't remember if this was good or not, which probably means it's forgettable.
Love Prisoners - haven't read it, so can't say if it's good or not.
Archive of Lovesickness's "Radical Report" - a magazine, not a newspaper. Pointless smut.
Enslave Lover - TV news, not a newspaper, but it might interest you.
Otenki Oniisan - pointless and generally brainless smut; TV news again, not print.

And lastly, a non-yaoi rec that is JUST perfect for you: Tramps Like Us!
