For the film that I am in the process of making im going to need a newspaper, any ideas of how I could make one and still have the look and feel of a real one. I need to put an article in the paper because it has to do with my character finding information in the paper.

Try a blueprint shop. Many have a B&W printer that prints on newsprint.

You could probably photocopy onto an 11x14 sheet of newsprint, if not try a local printer or even Kinko's.

think more like a director and editor and less like a prop guy .... use a combination of shots close up and wide to give the illusion. use a real news paper wide and a your print out fake on close up
