Red Dead Redemption - Collectable GuideNewspapers
There are 9 editions of the Blackwater Ledger which can be purchased from sellers following notable story missions in Red Dead Redemption.
This guide is a work in progress. Please stay tuned for further updates.
After completion of "Political Realities in Armadillo", newspaper sellers will be marked on the map with a newspaper icon and you'll be able to purchase the latest edition, and any old editions for $1 each.
They can be viewed and read from the "Kit" section of your Satchel.
Purchasing and reading newspapers is optional. They are not required for anything gameplay related, but do give more context and information on the characters and the world of Red Dead Redemption. You'll also find a cheat code hidden amongst the text of each edition.
