An article about a monster snowman

The World Times (ワールドタイムズ - Wārudotaimuzu) is a newspaper in Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy. The newspaper publishes articles about recent strange happenings from around the world. Professor Layton and co. can use the information from the article to visit the relevant location and gain more information from the local people. This usually leads to new puzzles to solve, or new items that can be collected. Occasionally, it also opens up new areas in previously visited locations.
