'newspaper articles?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'recycle after use' is the wordplay.
'recycle' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'recycled' mean this).
'after'+'use'='afteruse'
'afteruse' with letters rearranged gives 'FEATURES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for features that I've seen before include "Cast of face and newspaper articles" , "Characteristics; parts of face" , "Facial characteristics or newspaper articles" , "Prominent aspects and full-length films" , "Highlights" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
