Yomiuri sections

読売新聞(よみうりしんぶん)is one of the newspapers in Japan. I'm trying to see if I can get used to reading Japanese news by reading its online site yomiuri.co.jp


It has many different sections, so here I list the ones that are new to me:

政治(せいじ)politics, government (an easy way to remember this is to associate it with 正義(せいぎ)justice)
選挙(せんきょ)election
経済(けいざ)economics, business, finance
社会(しゃかい)society, public (note it's the reverse of 会社(かいしゃ)company)
国際(こくさい)international
地域(ちいき)regional
環境(かんきょう)environment
社説(しゃせつ)editorial
五輪(ごりん)the Olympics (lit. 5 rings)
教育(きょういく)education
医療(いりょう)medical care (the りょう here looks like 寮 dormitory, but it's slightly different)
住まい(すまい)residence

I'm still not sure about 大手小町(おおてこまち)and 発言小町(はつげんこまち). Gotta ask sensei.
