abstract:Japanese newspapers (新聞 "shinbun"), similar to their worldwide counterparts, run the gamut from general news-oriented papers to special interest newspapers devoted to economics, sports, literature, industry, and trade. Newspapers are circulated either nationally, by region (such as Kantō or Kansai), by prefecture, or by city.
In the days leading up to this season's first Red Sox-Yankees matchup four Japanesenewspapers will run promotions from MLB asking readers to pick a side.
