  Regional papers is a good idea.

  Other thoughts of things to add in the paper:
  Quest information - people doing the nobility quest of scorn as an example
  Maybe most valuable items recently sold.
  Player deaths in the area.

  A thing on the RFE list would be regional based messages.  I'd perhaps extend 
that to type based messages, eg:
REGION scorn
TYPE newspaper (other possiblities are things like scroll, book, and npc)

  If the messages file got big/complete enough, it could actually be worthwhile 
to talk to NPC's for information (npcs with default messages perhaps get one of 
the random ones added).
