Default which newspapers are best for composting?

Hi y'all

I've just got back from the garden where I've been forking out the
results of my first attempt at compost making - quite respectable if a
bit twiggy, so I'm reasonably pleased. I'd like to start adding
chopped up newspapers to my compost but I'm a bit nervous about this
because I read that a) the paper itself is bleached with chorine and b)
the printers ink can contain chemical nasties. I read The
Independent. I'm not sure how it rates in terms of compostability,
although its editorial policy is certainly very green. Any views?
