May I ask where you live in which they don't have any newspaper dispensers?
I live in Sydney, Australia.
Newspapers here are sold in shops (newsagents, corner stores, service stations , some supermarkets, kiosks on railway stations, news stalls on city street corners) or else home delivered. I'm pretty sure they don't have newspaper dispensers in other Australian cities or towns either.
Free newspapers are either home delivered (local newspaper - you get it whether you want it or not) or given away in shops (eg gig guide/music newspapers are often given away in cafes and record stores).
Thirty years ago, there used to be paper sellers who would sell papers from a two wheeled trolley. They would sometimes work on the median strip on busy roads, selling to commuters stopped in traffic, but were more often kids who would wheel the trolley around residential neighbourhoods, blowing a whistle to attract sales. The kids usually only worked weekend mornings, but in some areas they did it on weekday afternoons, too. I can't remember when this practice stopped.
