No. News papers are not sterile, but hey when you are in a pinch, use what you have got available. So long as you are not dealing with an open fracture it should be ok. If you do have and open fracture you will need to dress the open wound first if it's bleeding badly. That should afford you enough protection to apply your news print splint.
