Reading newspapers does count, although research shows some benefits of reading differ by type of reading material. (For example, see Brendan Brown, Contributor (Dec. 12, 2016).

Various other research studies (e.g., see
these search results) indicate the processes of reading digital content versus paper content differ, which has a variety of implications. Nonetheless, I do most of my reading digitally these days, although I prefer DTB for texts that include lots of illustrations, charts, graphs, content that requires me to flip back and forth between pages, or content I want to notate and then reread along with my underlining, highlights, and margin notes.
