The newspapers here are a joke. They're in English but the reporters make up facts and stories go on and on without saying anything. Real news from the internet is the best way. - Jun 2008
The Nation and Standard are the major ones; not great for international news, but will keep you informed on all of the political gossip of the day. - Feb 2008
