Is it permissible to work in newspaper distribution?
It is not permissible to aid in anything unlawful, whether through selling, carrying, or promoting it, due to Allah's saying: (And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression) Al-Ma'idah/2. The scholars have explicitly stated the prohibition of selling anything that is used to facilitate disobedience, such as selling juice to someone who will turn it into wine, or selling weapons to belligerents and highwaymen, or renting a house for selling alcohol. Therefore, it is not permissible to assist in the publication of newspapers that contain many prohibited things, such as裸 pictures, advertisements for places of amusement and immorality, and gambling halls.
