Grammar
The most/the best
"Newspapers interest me the most." = I prefer newspapers above all other forms of media.
But is it "good" English and grammatically sensible to say:
"Newspapers interest me the best," if I am trying to convey the sense that although I do not favor any particular form of media, I do acknowledge that newspapers do the best job of securing my interest?
Thank you for your expert opinions.

You have the meaning of the two sentences. The sentences are fine for informal and spoke use. Your explainations are better for formal use.
