Morphology

newspaperwoman = newspaper + woman (transparent) = news + paper + woman

The compound 'newspaper' + 'woman' clearly denotes a woman associated with or working for a newspaper, so the meaning is directly derivable from the parts.

Etymology

Newspaperwoman joins newspaper ('news on paper') and woman ('adult female'), so it names a woman who writes or reports the news for a newspaper.
