Default Newspaper as organic matter addition

Has any one tried adding newspaper to soil as you would add compost, leaves
or for that matter peatmoss?
Is there anything that makes newspaper less attractive than other organic
additives (assuming that the inks are biodegradable)?
When Newspapers are suggested by many as great weed barriers, when added
into the soil, why would newspapers not help improve the soil texture-
especially clay soils?
Please share your thoughts/.
