Newsworthy is the name Weitzner Limited's rather amazing wallcovering made from, you guessed it, recycled newspapers.

Using an age-old technology of upcycling old newspapers, 100% real newsprint strips are handwoven on a loom and then paperbacked to make Newsworthy suitable for the wall.

Maintenance-wise it can be vacuumed off for cleaning, but like real newspapers, it's not guaranteed against fading; being constantly exposed to sunlight might cause it to yellow. But either way it's a damn sight prettier than the average New Yorker's newspaper decorating solution: We typically just crumple up the sheets and use them to adorn our streets.
