Hi,
If you want to equate the words 'newspaper' and 'journal', the latter term tends, although certainly not always, to focus on a daily account or record. Thus, it might be more precise to focus on a 'daily newpaper'.

In the U.S. you would refer to what you read in the news, or in the newspaper. You would not refer to news "in the journal."
However, many newspapers do have the word "Journal" as part of their titles

In English, "journal" is often used for a technical or sectorial publication, e.g. the British Medical Journal. Don't confuse the English with the French, where "journal" means precisely "newspaper".
