Micro Perforated Newspapers

Tearing content out of a newspaper can be a difficult undertaking. It's usually not worth doing things that are difficult, but sometimes there is an article or something in a newspaper that one may think is worth the effort of tearing out. Those who make this common thought-error know that newsprint tears follow unpredictable paths of least resistance that, while unpredictable, usually run right through the content that is being removed.

Different techniques for tearing involve removing a much larger section than is required, employing the use of various devices if handy, and creasing the paper; however, this doesn't always work and often results in smudged fingers and certain failure. The only practical alternative is the pre-perforation of newsprint on the press before newspapers are put into the once clean and undexterous hands of their readership.
