Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Cliché stock phrase from the 1890s through the 1940s used to denote breaking news! Sometimes uses "extry" or "wuxtry" to denote a New England accent! Often shouted by overzealous newsies and paperboys! A Dead Horse Trope nowadays (period pieces notwithstanding) owing to television and the internet! Related to Spinning Paper! Extra! Extra!
But what does it mean?
In the old days before TV, radio, and the Internet, most people who followed the news got their information from the newspapers, which were (and still are) normally published at best on a daily basis. If a major story (such as the death of a President or a declaration of war) broke after the day's deadline, a newspaper might choose to print an "Extra" edition on top of their regular edition. Sometimes they were short and carried only the story itself, but more often they were identical to the earlier main edition with just the first few pages replaced. By the 1940s, though, newspapers were in competition with radio for advertising dollars, and big-city papers like the New York Times and the Montreal Gazette published four or five regular editions a day, taking any possible opportunity to publish an "extra" so they could boost circulation. Even now, papers infrequently publish short "extra" editions if a really big story breaks; many did after 9/11, for instance.
For extra cliche points, this trope is frequently trotted out for minor happenings and other news events that wouldn't normally warrant the printing of an extra edition, particularly ones exhibiting the Worst News Judgment Ever.
Compare This Just In!, which is this for News Broadcasts. |

Used in The Simpsons episode featuring the B-Sharps, Homer's barbershop quartet. The newsboy calls out "Extra, extra, B-Sharps sing on rooftop!", which was happening at that moment, within earshot. A man buys one from him and exclaims that there's nothing in there about the B-Sharps, and then chases after the kid as he runs away laughing.

Parodied (along with every other newspaper trope) in the Discworld novel The Truth. William de Worde, editor of the Discworld's first mass-circulation newspaper, the Ankh-Morpork Times, hires some beggars to act as newsies. Since the beggars in question are Foul Ole Ron and his friends, all of whom have a somewhat weak grip on reality, they manage to mangle the newsie stock phrases further, turning them into shouts of "Hoinarylup!" and "Squidaped-oyt!" Made all the funnier when Lord Vetinari buys a newspaper and upon reading it remarks, quite dryly: "I see no mention of Hoinarylup or Squiaped-oyt." |

El Chavo del ocho was once selling newspapers and shouting the trope to announce about cops chasing smugglers and a female domestic servant strike. Watching a cop stalk a woman in maid attire made him mix up. Later, he played on the old joke mentioned in The Simpsons example and shouted an announcement about thirteen deceived people. Don Ramon bought a newspaper and complained it was a week-old one. He updated it to fourteen. Then Quico, who had previously asked to read a Chapulin comic book to check if he hasn't already read it, returned it, claiming he had already read it. As Quico shouted about fifteen deceived people, Don Ramon laughed at how the trick was turned on Chavo. |

During Game Grumps' Super Mario 64 serial, Dan uses this trope jokingly to say that "Arin sucks [at videogames]!". They continue with the joke, calling the kid "Chimney Sweep Tom" ; he has crippled legs, so people kick him down and steal his papers (because he said out loud that he wouldn't be able to follow them). |

Circus Electrique regularly presents information in the form of newspaper articles, with a new edition of The Illustrious London Voice released after every battle. This is commonly accompanied by the voice of a newsboy hawking said papers; if he doesn't have some specific comment on a new development, he'll often be yelling the expected "Extra, extra!" |

Back in Circulation: This movie, about a newspaper and an Intrepid Reporter, uses this trope in the standard way as a means of exposition. But it also does a unique spin on the trope by using spinning paper for the opening credits, with newspaper headlines giving the title of the movie, the names of the main players, and the name of the director. |

El Goonish Shive features an extra who seems to idolize the old paperboys. He even stole someone's newspaper for his performance. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In "The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows", Featherweight announces himself selling the Foal Free Press paper in this old-fashioned way. He's even dressed for the part, like an old-school paperboy. |

Used verbatim on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me as the title for an infrequent panel segment during the Carl Kassell years, in which a panelist had to guess which of three wacky headlines read by Carl was the real one. (Under Bill Kurtis this became "I'm Bill Kurtis, and This Is the News.") The introduction of the segment came with a lampshading of how period-specific the phrase was. |

Used in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team. The news is important in this case because the Pokémon who were trying to capture the player character realize that s/he isn't the one behind the natural disasters, and you can return to your home. |

Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot attempts to use this phrase in one episode, but since the characters are announcing new stories on a website, it is changed to "Extra! Extra! hear all about it!" Just doesn't have the same ring to it. |

Homestar Runner :
Used in the opening of the Halloween cartoon "Happy Hallow-Day", as Homestar lays out the plot:
The same cartoon also an Easter Egg where Homsar does a similar routine, standing next to a tree full of eggs. |

Used for a gag in Transmetropolitan—the newsboy (a stubble-faced dwarf for some reason) not actually proclaiming a story, but loudly expressing his opinion of The Word's decision to fire Spider Jerusalem. |

Invasion U.S.A. (1952). One of the most bizarre and badly staged in film history. As the main characters Vincent and Carla stare lovingly into each other's eyes in the foreground, a newsboy walks in, yelling, "Extra! Paper! Read all about it!", and stares directly at the two (who don't notice and continue to look into each other's eyes like zombies); he then turns around with barely a pause and walks off from the same way he entered. |
