Although many newspapers glue a new roll onto the old while the press is
running (I think it was when I toured the Boston Globe, and we got a little
extra detailed tour of the pressroom because my sister, who had worked on
some automated paper handling for newspapers, was with us, that they told us
about the special glues they had to come up with to dry fast enough to take
the force applied by the press in pulling the paper). Sometimes you get the
paper which was printed on the seam, though those are generally supposed to
be discarded. The presses usually have a spindle with 3 rolls of paper (in
use, on deck, being changed [obviously not the correct technical terms]).
At our newspaper, you can get shredded newspaper (I think they sell it).
They sell a lot of it for mulch and lining animal stalls (they changed to an
organic ink within the past 10 years to make this type of use safer). I once
picked up a van load of paper for a friend, and it was almost a year before
I stopped finding strips of paper in the van.
