ELI5: why do newspapers clean windows/mirrors/etc better than anything else that is made for doing such things?

Other

I've always used newspapers with windex, and it works amazing as far as leaving any glass surfaces crystal clear with zero streaks. But I've seriously never been able to figure out why. Is it the paper? Is it the ink they use? What gives, smart people of Reddit? Thanks in advance!
