When I visit any city in the first time, I always face difficulty to gain daily news of that area. Fortunately, recently we can access that kind of information through the internet, even so sometimes it's difficult to find the appropriate local broadcast website.
About Awaji island, I strongly recommend "Kobe shinbun website"(Kobe newspaper company website) to find Awaji daily broadcasts.
"Kobe shinbun"(paper media), is one of the biggiest local newspaper in Japan, has one-hundred years history, has more than 5 million customers around Kansai area. Awaji island is also covered area, so my family home and most of the neighborhoods have read as daily information collection.
On the website, there are daily news of each area in Hyogo Pref, some special reports, and local wether news. But unfortunately , provides only in Japanese...
Kobe Shinbun has published the book of "20-century of Awaji Island"(『淡路の20世紀』). If you can understand Japanese language, please check the following.

Thank you for writing a blog about Minamiawaji in English! I am an American living in Minamiawaji. I have lived here for 14 months. I like it, but it is difficult to find information in English or even speak to anyone, as my Japanese is limited. I have bookmarked your site and am looking forward to more posts!

It's me again! I'd love to hear more about customs, food, and local points of interest. I am very fond of exploring Awaji Island and have found some great spots already! ^_^ Also, I am interested in Awaji-ben. Many of the locals I know use it frequently, and many of the words can not be found in my dictionary. :) Thank you!!
