Bridge players recycled these articles (4-5)

I believe the answer is:

news-sheet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'articles' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'bridge players recycled these' is the wordplay.
'bridge players' becomes 'news' (in bridge, players are named after compass points).
'recycled' is an anagram indicator.
'these' anagrammed gives 'sheet'.
'news'+'sheet'='NEWS-SHEET'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for news-sheet that I've seen is " Simple journal".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
