Whats the best way to dry out a wet newspaper?

Question

What is the best method for drying out a wet newspaper effectively? I would appreciate tips on the most efficient techniques, whether it involves using household items or specialized tools, and any precautions I should take to preserve the newspaper’s readability and condition.

Being very careful &ndash; put a large glass or other microwave safe bowl in the microwave.  Put the paper, one section at a time on top, leaving it as open as the size of your microwave allows.  Run for about 2-3 minutes while watching it carefully. Open the microwave but be very careful as the steam escapes.  When the paper is cool, refold it to expose parts that aren&rsquo;t as dry.  Also, there will probably be some water (hot) in the bowl.  Empty it.  Repeat the above until paper is not quite dry.  If you leave the paper on the floor of the microwave it won&rsquo;t work since the steam will collect under it and re-wet it as it cools.  Don&rsquo;t let the paper dry completely or it might burn. Leave the almost dry paper open over the back of a wood or metal chair to finish drying.Putting it in the sun will also work except if the paper got wet because its raining out, that may be a problem.
