As I thought about this question, my first thought was how newspapers from the Civil War up through the 1930s used the term "foreigner" very liberally to describe any person (often, usually male) who was born in overseas (abroad), was recruited to come to the US to work in coal mines, coke works where they heated coal, or steel mills. Today, the word foreigner has very negative meanings, but it was very accepted slang (and a put down) around the turn of the century.
Today we have "beats" referring to the old police beat, and police blotters.
Some titled articles or columns might use the term OpEd which means an opinion piece, typically opposite the Editor's page.
One slang term you will never see but always appears in every newspaper is the gutter -- the space between articles.
