newsrape

An act of abuse; despoliation; or violation: carried out by an editor on a journalist. The newsrape usually takes the form of an excessive but pointless workload that the journalist has almost no time to complete. The story/stories will then inevitably be almost completely rewritten or scrapped altogether in the subbing process.

Newsraper

When someone who is too cheap to buy their own newspaper peers over the shoulder of someone reading theirs.

You should of seen Mark sat next to Dave this morning when he was reading his paper. He's such a newsraper!
