paperman

Morning route worker

A paperman is someone who works with paper professionally—typically a newspaper delivery person, a newsstand vendor, or historically, someone in the paper trade.

The term appears most often in contexts involving newspaper distribution: The paperman tossed the morning edition onto the porch.

In some regions, paperman specifically means a newsboy or paper carrier.
