Arab chaps featured in the old-fashioned newspaper (6)
I believe the answer is:
yemeni
'arab' is the definition.
(I know that Yemeni is a type of arab)
'chaps featured in the old-fashioned newspaper' is the wordplay.
'chaps' becomes 'men' (chap can mean a man).
'featured in' indicates putting letters inside.
'the old' becomes 'ye' (resembles a historical spelling of 'the').
'fashioned newspaper' becomes 'i' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'ye'+'i'='yei'
'men' going inside 'yei' is 'YEMENI'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for yemeni that I've seen before include "ME citizen" , "Eg, native of Sana'a" , "language" , "from an Arab country" , "Native of Sana'a, say" .)
