Ack. This is so weird. I have to have a superfluous second comment or the first one disappears. Then I try again and it disappears again, so I throw up some test comment and my original comment shows up again. I haven't read the first one in days, let's see here...
From slashfilm, If you watch enough television shows and movies, then you might even start to notice that a bunch of the same props are used over and over again. I first noticed this with a magazine prop in various television shows including Married With Children, which featured a gum advertisement on the back cover. Someone on Reddit recently put together a compilation of photos from various television shows, commercials and movies, showing how one newspaper prop gets around and is reused, and reused again.
I don’t know the story behind this prop newspaper, but I assume it was created as a royalty free prop for television shows. Somewhere along the line, the prop became a reoccurring gag between propmasters. Something like how sound designers reuse the Wilhem Scream in every movie.

That's excellent! I wonder who that woman is in the distinctive photo. She looks like Karen Allen.
