newspapers

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

'old fish n chips wrappers?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'rotten prawns seep' is the wordplay.
'rotten' is an anagram indicator.
'prawns'+'seep'='prawnsseep'
'prawnsseep' anagrammed gives 'NEWSPAPERS'.

'into' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for newspapers that I've seen is " Press".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
