The CLA Licence does not cover newspapers at all so you cannot justify copying under it. Newspapers are an excluded category and only the NLA operates a licensing scheme for copying from newspapers.
You can ask the local newspaper but it may not be able to grant blanket permission to copy because it may not own the rights in all of the content it publishers. And if it participates in the NLA scheme it may refuse, be unable to or merely not wish to grant such rights. One of the points of being in the scheme is to escape the need to deal with direct requests.

There were a couple of postings back in June by Ruth Malaney and Professor Oppenheim discussing the NLA. My College is currently debating whether or not to renew the licence and I wondered if anyone can provide clarification on the following:
1. If we obtain direct written permission from a local newspaper to copy articles the licence can be avoided.
2. One article can be copied from a newspaper under the CLA licence.
Many thanks
Donna
