The newspaper, as seen in Hitman: Blood Money, is shown at the end of each mission. It shows police reports of what the player did in a mission, showing their rating at the top, shots fired, witnesses, accuracy, civilians and guards murdered, and what weapon the player used the most. The newspaper also shows ad's which can be hints for future missions.
Hitman: Absolution
The newspaper clippings seen in One of a Kind.
While not having the same effect as it did in Hitman: Blood Money, the newspaper does return in the Hitman: Absolution mission, One of a Kind. The player, once walking down into the basement of Tommy Clemenza's shop, can see newspapers of some of Agent 47's previous missions. The newspapers can not be interacted with.
HITMAN™
The newspaper returns once more in HITMAN™. Seen in the mission World of Tomorrow, the player can use newspapers to hide. When used, Agent 47 will sit on the bench the newspaper is one and will be hidden.
