There are 19 Newspapers to collect and there are a few things that you should perhaps know about them.

  1. Several Newspapers appear during the course of the Main Missions. These do not count towards the Document counts for those Missions or Chapters - they count as Newspapers.
  2. For every Newspaper that appears in a Main Mission a copy will also be in the City somewhere so if you miss it in the Mission it is not the end of the world - you can still get it while you are skulking around the City.
  3. HOWEVER, Newspapers in the City are not always permanent and may only become available AFTER a certain Chapter or might become inactive or be gone AFTER a certain Chapter.

Below is a reference table for all 19 Newspapers listed in publication date order (oldest to latest)
