I believe the answer is:

ragtime

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

'type of jazz' is the definition.
'ragtime' can be an answer for 'jazz' (type of jazz). I am unsure of the 'type of' bit.

'man in newspaper originally enjoying' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'tim' (short for Timothy).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'newspaper' becomes 'rag' (informal term for a newspaper).
'originally' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'enjoying' is 'e'.
'rag'+'e'='rage'
'tim' placed inside 'rage' is 'RAGTIME'.
