Re: Does BY-SA extend to a newspaper?

Under BY-SA, only "Adaptations" are required to be
distributed as BY-SA.
"Adaptations", by definition, does not include
"Collections". Collections,
speaking generally, are aggregations of works that continue
to be
recognizable as separate works. The BY-SA requirement does
not apply to
separate works that make up the Collection. So in this case,
the newspaper
is best considered a Collection, so the BY-SA requirement
applies to the
individual work (the photograph), and not the whole
newspaper.

Congratulations on your receiving recognition for the great
work!
