Mafia The Old Country has many, many collectibles for players to collect both during their journey and long after it ends. One of these is the Newspapers strewn throughout the world. Not only does reading these give the player a good idea about what was historically going on in the rest of the world during the events of this game, but they’re also directly related to two of the game’s achievements. Because newspapers are not marked on your map until you walk within a few meters of them, they can also be quite hard to find. If you are having trouble locating these papers, then please use this guide on every newspaper location in Mafia, the Old Country.
NOTE: This guide is a work in progress and will be finished within the next day.
