LA Noire's Newspapers explained
During the course of the story there are thirteen newspapers to find; while they have no direct impact on the plot, nor are there seemingly any achievements or trophies for finding them, but they do give you a chance to view events that are happening behind the scenes which may help you determine the course of your investigations.
We've included the location of each of the newspapers in the appropriate place in the main walkthrough, but if you're forging your own path and just want to check you've not missed one, here's a rundown of where they're located.
