Old newspaper is fine, but it has to be at least two weeks old. If you use a newer newspaper, the ink can transfer to the fabric (although I do think it would wash out later). You may have noticed getting ink smeared on your hands while reading a new newspaper! Old newspaper ink won't smear like that.
I would test the newspaper by running a hand across the newsprint to see if any ink ends up on your hand.
