Newspapers rely on copyright law to allow them to monetize the content they produce. They also rely on exemptions in the law to allow them to print, for example, excerpts of books in reviews.
Newspapers may be incorporated themselves, or may have a parent company that holds all the copyright. Works of newspaper employees would be considered works made for hire, so for example a reporter's story would be controlled by the paper, not the reporter. Syndicated materials such as columns and comic strips would be controlled by the syndicate. Newspapers and magazines are required to have a block of text referred to as "boilerplate" that lists their corporate structure ("a Conde Nast publication"), their executive board by name, and various other facts. Copyright information can generally be found in the boilerplate.
Censorship can be used to remove copyright material if the material does not belong to you.
Copyright regulations ACT 1969 (Commonwealth of Australia)
"Roofies" were newspapers used as covers to keep out the cold.
French copyright is the droit d'auteur, or "right of the author." However, the word "copyright" is increasingly used.
Using copyright-free materials is much cheaper and easier than negotiating for a license with the copyright holder of a protected work.
The copyright symbol consists of a C in a circle has become a widely recognised symbol. The copyright symbol was first used in section 18 of the 1909 American Copyright Act.

UK law doesn't seem to give a copyright term for corporate works, so it would appear that each article is protected for the life of the author plus 70 years. The published edition of the newspaper would be protected for 25 years.
A term used to describe the rise of low-cost newspapers in the 1830s is "penny papers".
They have been used for sometime. US newspapers go back to the late 1600s.The History Manhttp://wwwhistoryman.blogspot.com/http://www.footnote.com/page/109752507_us_historic_newspaper_archives/
It doesn't. In point of fact current copyright law (specifically the "fair use" exception) actually makes it easier for the newspaper industry by allowing them to use a portion of copyrighted material for purposes of news reporting or critique without spending the time & capital to obtain permission.
