The '''newspaper''' is an item [[Newspaper deliverer|delivered daily]] to Sim households. Newspapers can be read by Sims for entertainment, or used to find [[career|a job]]; depending on the game, the newspaper may have additional uses. Newspapers become old and unusable when a new paper is delivered the following morning. The newspaper is known in-game as the ''SimCity Chronicle.''

In ''The Sims 2'', the newspaper is delivered by a [[Teen]], and usually arrives shortly after 7 AM every day. The newspaper can be read for Fun, and also allows Sims to:{{clr}}
* Find a job (There will be three job listings.)
* Find a job for a pet {{vgversion|TS2:P}}

The paper-boy/girl will stop delivering the paper if there are too many on the lot. To get rid of them, Sims can recycle them, or hire a [[maid]]. With ''[[Open for Business]]'', a [[Robotics#CleanBot|CleanBot]] will vacuum up old newspapers. With ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons|Seasons]]'' they can also be put in the compost bin.
If the newspaper is outdoors, and a Sim who is [[Fury|furious]] with someone in the household comes past, they may steal the newspaper and run off with it. This may happen even if a Sim is holding - or reading - the paper. In addition, a [[Personality#Qualities|mean]] Sim who comes by may steal the paper even if they don't know anyone in the household, or even if they are friends with one of the household members. Players should note that if the thief is interrupted after picking up the paper, the paper will probably still disappear. So, while a [[Robotics#SentryBot|SentryBot]]{{vgversion|OFB}} may react to a Sim who intends to steal a newspaper, it will often be unable to prevent the theft itself. However, the player can use the [[moveobjects]] cheat and move the newspaper to an inaccessible location, or move it inside the house. The would-be thief would walk towards it, be unable to get at it, and leave, aborting the theft entirely. Also, if an old newspaper is on the ground near the current newspaper, it might be stolen instead of the current newspaper.
