I dont use newsprint, but when I was considering switching to it, I contacted a couple local newspapers, and they referred me to their wholesaler. It was way better priced than retail, but you had to buy in semi-bulk. The lowest quantity required that I found near me was 4 rolls. If i remember correctly, I was really surprised at how short of rolls they had available, and the type of rolls didnt matter. I think that they had some as low as 250ft.
