Scrapbooking can be a lot of fun. I organize all my stuff in highly efficient piles.

If you are worried about the acid content of the newsprint, there is a spray available at Scrapbooking stores that you can spray on the newspaper to neutralize the acid content. It did seem to work when I used it. There are PVC/archival clear pages to slip the scrapbook pages into that will act somewhat as a barrier between the photos and newsprint.
The big killer to archival permanence is UV light. So keep any photos or articles out of the sun or out of hot or high moisture areas. As a matter of note, I have also heard that the CD/Rewriteables have a three year situation before some of the photographic content can start to degrade. I have not heard of this problem about CD Write only that cannot be rerecorded. This was from my professional color lab.
I try to keep up with archival info due to the fact that I'm a photographer by trade. Black and white images printed on B&W paper that has been archivally processed will last the longest: 100-400 years depending on process and type of paper. Color photographic paper-around 71 years for the good stuff(Kodak & Fuji Archival gold), Die-sub- five if your lucky. Color computer printers with pigment based dyes were claiming 300 year ink, but latest I read was 100 year or less and depends on paper acidity, too. Color dyes will ultimately degrade over the years.
I did a pretty complicated book for the year the hs team took state. It was fun and I actually got it done

Son really liked it. Currently working on one for him to bring to college with pictures of house, dog, friends etc. Probably will be too busy to look at it but it will be there if he wants to.
