Hello
May be he is confused - if he went from going outside to newspapers, that is a big change for him. You have only had him for a short time so he is going to be a little mixed up, he has had a lot to deal with in a short space of time.
Before he came to live with you do you know what method of house training the previous owners were using.
Personally, I would go right back to basics and start over and give him a consistent routine to work with.
Keep taking him out every hour and praise him like crazy when he goes outside. Take up the newspapers and start from scratch.
Let me know what happens.
