* ''Film/InvasionUSA1952''. One of the most bizarre and badly staged in film history. As the main characters Vincent and Carla stare lovingly into each other's eyes, a newsboy walks in, yelling, "Extra! Paper! Read all about it!", ''stares directly at the two'' (who don't notice continue to look into each other's eyes like zombies); he then turns around and walks off '''''from the same way he entered'''''.

* Parodied (along with every other newspaper trope) in the Literature/{{Discworld}} novel ''Discworld/TheTruth''. William de Worde, editor of the Discworld's first mass-circulation newspaper, the Ankh-Morpork Times, hires some beggars to act as newsies. Since the beggars in question are [[CrazyHomelessPeople Foul Ole Ron]] and his friends, all of whom have a somewhat weak grip on reality, they manage to mangle the newsie stock phrases further, turning them into shouts of "Hoinarylup!" and "Squidaped-''oyt!''" Made all the funnier when Lord Vetinari buys a newspaper and upon reading it remarks, quite dryly: "I see no mention of Hoinarylup or Squiaped-''oyt.''"

* In ''Disney/MakeMineMusic'', during "The Whale Who Wanted to Sing at the Met", a paperboy appears shouting "Extra! Read all about it!" holding a newspaper bearing a headline about the opera-singing whale. The paperboy (along with every role in the production) is voiced by Nelson Eddy.

In the old days before TV, radio, and the Internet, most people who followed the news got their information from the newspapers, which were (and still are) normally published at best on a daily basis. If a major story (such as the death of a President or a declaration of war) broke after the day's deadline, a newspaper might choose to print an "Extra" edition on top of their regular edition. Sometimes they were short and carried only the story itself, but more often they were identical to the earlier main edition with just the first few pages replaced. By the 1940s, though, newspapers were in competition with radio for advertising dollars, and big-city papers like the ''NewYorkTimes'' and the ''Montreal Gazette'' published four or five regular editions a day, taking any possible opportunity to publish an "extra" so they could boost circulation. Even now, papers infrequently publish short "extra" editions if a ''really'' big story breaks; many did after 9/11, for instance.
