I like what Andy is doing, As a librarian, however, an alternative would be to only cite the newspaper without the URL as this analog citation would be valid, meaning just cite the newspaper article.

I’m constantly encountering newspaper articles that have disappeared
from Google and
are no longer viewable or even discoverable via Google. They are often the sole reference url for statements, yet are behind a
paywall - notably
newspapers.com. How is the community handling the paywalling of historical newspaper
resources?
Whenever I cite something on Wikidata, or Wikipedia, I submit a copy to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine using the add-on for Firefox:
