Default Using newspapers for mulch/weed control ?

I've seen references to spreading a couple pages of old
newspaper out as ground cover for weed control. I have my doubts
about how rain water seeps thru the paper. Is it fast enough ?

If I punched holes with a pitchfork it seems to me that
the paper would shred and blow away.

Any experience ?

Thanks
