TheoTown

Adds a news ticker to the screen that displays random (and sometimes funny) headlines, similar to the news ticker from SimCity 3000. You can even disable certain types of headlines in settings/plugins/Theo News Network.
Note: It's missing a few features and optimizations, but I will probably add them in the future. For example, the news ticker's speed is still tied to the framerate. Regardless, it should work okay for now.
Please keep in mind that this plug-in only supports English.

There's also an add-on available that includes some headlines from SimCity. You can download it from my website, Retro City Center (TheoTown/Plug-ins/Other).
