[Corpora-List] Summary Newspaper Corpora 2

[Jan Strunk]

Hello,

as there have been quite a few responses
on my second query, I'll post another summary.

In my second query, I asked for available newspaper
corpora in languages except (English, French, German
and Spanish, for which a lot of ressources seem to exist).

Many thanks for your information!

Best regards!
