Morphology

newspapering = newspaper (semi-transparent) = news + paper + ing

The immediate base 'newspaper' is transparent, but the derived noun 'newspapering' refers to the profession or activity of working in newspapers rather than a fully predictable action noun.

Etymology

The word newspapering comes from newspaper ('news' printed on 'paper') plus the ending -ing, which means 'the action of' or 'doing'. So, newspapering is the job or activity of making newspapers: gathering, writing, and editing news.
