Framing is an excellent way and if you have a number of them, a collage would be nice. Another way to display them would be under a glass coffee table! Here is a link to check out the framing idea:

You could create a rack for the wall with slots for each one if you want people to be able to handle them. If you don't want people handling them, add a piece of glass to the front. If you just want to show specific stories, you could cut them out and decoupage them to a piece of wood to hang on the wall.
This pinterest page uses mostly magazines but it might inspire you for your newspapers.

Hope that helps.
If space allows frame them and make a wall gallery
If you want to save the whole paper, seal each one in special collectors' envelopes with a clear cover, available at coin and hobby stores. Don't store in sunlight.
We were at a small town museum and they had the front pages to several issues laminated and on display. They also had many other pages laminated and stored in a huge chest and rotated the pages on display from time to time. I believe they put the pages in poster frames for display.
My older son has one drawerful of newspapers and comic books left at our house. He is 46. I think it is time to transfer historian duties to his house.
Best wishes 😇
You can either make or purchase large shadow box frames. (like the ones you see with sports jerseys in them). You could even hang a light at the top.
