I think I’d use the international news for the strongest effect. I guess a newspaper could be a good improvised weapon, but it would probably serve mostly as a distraction. I’m not sure you could seriously hurt someone with it and, after a couple of whacks, it’ll start to get soft. A strike to very vulnerable spots, such as the neck, may be most useful. Or maybe to the nose or eye. I actually poked myself in the eye with one page of my newspaper the other day and it made my eyes water for a while, so that might work well.
