This is a marvelous offering from NHK. The text is simplified with definitions for difficult terms provided as pop-ups. You can also listen to an announcer reading the text. There is a video clip of the same story being presented by a television announcer, and finally a link to the original source text so that you can read in depth once you have the terminology and background.
Try to read one news article a day. Your Japanese skills will progress, I promise you.
