I believe the answer is:

press cutting

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

'paper' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'ram shearing article' is the wordplay.
'ram' becomes 'press' (I've seen this before).
'shearing article' becomes 'cutting' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'press'+'cutting'='PRESS-CUTTING'

'taken from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for press cutting that I've seen before include "Item snipped from newspaper" , "newspaper article" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
