Disdained newspaper (3)
I believe the answer is:
rag
'disdained newspaper' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for rag that I've seen before include "Bit of material" , "University festival or torn cloth" , "Make fun of; scrap" , "Scrap -student carnival" , "Piece of music" .)
