Anything can be made a habit if you make it look like a game. You can have one child bring one piece of news to the class related to the topic you want. This will encourage them to read the paper and find the appropriate news.
We also have to realise that the generation is changing. They prefer using technology like mobile phones, laptops, tablets etc. We should allow them to use the internet to find news as well.
