Sadly there are almost no Chinese news with subtitles. But I have found an exception: TVB J5 Mandarin News with Simplified Chinese subtitle. Check this Hong Kong TV channel for information.

Aurus, can you add that to your answer? It appears 普通話新聞報道 (which also has videos on youtube) fits what I'm looking for.

<p>I sometimes watch the news on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8Wy9LXCapw" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CCTV LIVE</a> youtube channel to improve my listening comprehension. Sometimes they provide subtitles in Chinese, and sometimes they don't. This is fine if I'm just trying to get the gist of the stories, but I know from experience that I improve a lot faster when I can go back over difficult parts in detail (e.g., with a dictionary). This is hard to do if there aren't subtitles or transcripts available.</p>

<p>Is there any place to watch or listen to the news in Chinese that either provides transcripts or always subtitles everything (in Chinese)? If not the news, something analytical and non-fictional?</p>

If you don't restrict the content to only news, you'd find a lot more videos, such as videos for traveling, movie synopsis, etc. They are, in my opinion, a lot more fun than news.
