Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Japan's national public broadcasting corporation, NHK, launched "News Web Easy" in April 2012. This web service provides users with five daily simplified news scripts of "easy" Japanese news. Since its inception, this service has been favorably received both in Japan and overseas. Users particularly appreciate its value as a Japanese learning and teaching resource. In this paper, we focus on difficulty levels of sentence-end expressions, compiled from the news, that create ambiguity and problems when rewriting news items. These are analyzed and compared within regular news and News Web Easy, and their difficulty is assessed based on Japanese learners' reading comprehension levels.
