In my research into the Japanese language I have come across a publication called the Hiragana Times. It is a unique source for reading news and articles in the Japanese language as it shows kanji, hiragana and english for all articles which enables a direct way of comparing English and Japanese. The Hiragana Times has been published since 1996 and has readers in over 100 countries. To subscribe go to the Hiragana Times and take your learning to a whole new level.
