The quality of paper in a lot of newspapers has gone too fancy for papier mache, you need the cheapo ones! Old telephone directories make great pm, though I can't offer any help in finding them either :-)

You used be able to get out of date newspapers from newsagents - they cut off the strip with the name and date, but I think now they send back the whole lot. Maybe a pub or similar might have old ones they throw away.

Ask in your library, or just ask your neighbours to keep theirs for you instead of putting them in the green bin!

Or check with a hotel - they usually have daily papers for guests that are likely thrown out!
