No, newspapers are considered to be organic waste. This is because paper is made of wood fibers (primarily cellulose and lignin), which are organic molecules. The easy test for this is whether or not the waste will decompose on its own - if you leave a newspaper sitting under a pile of leaves, it will mostly decompose over the course of a year. In contrast, if you leave a glass bottle sitting under a pile of leaves, you could come back in a hundred years and the bottle would still be useable.
