Text in newsletter-style columns flows from one column to the next on the same page.
Switch to print layout view (print layout view: A view of a document or other object as it will appear when you print it. For example, items such as headers, footnotes, columns, and text boxes appear in their actual positions.).
Select the text you want to format in columns:
An entire document
On the Edit menu, click Select All.
Part of the document
Select the text.
Existing sections
Click in a section (section: A portion of a document in which you set certain page formatting options. You create a new section when you want to change such properties as line numbering, number of columns, or headers and footers.) or select multiple sections.
On the Standard toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, press ALT and then SHIFT+F10.), click Columns .
Drag to select the number of columns you want.

If it's just the article than you just need to have material to write.
If it's the format that your looking for check out these instructions from MS themselves.
"Today, the only instance in which text columns are still the easiest solution is when you need what are called newspaper columns. That is, content that automatically flows from one column to the next when text is added or removed.
To create a document with newspaper columns, click the Columns button Button image on the Standard toolbar, drag your mouse pointer across the number of columns you want and release the mouse button. Then, as you come to the end of a column, your text will automatically start in the next column. As text is edited, the flow between columns automatically adjusts."

Well if by writing a newspaper on Word, you mean like in columns, you just have to go to the top menu bar where it says "Format" and then there should be a button that says "Columns" and then you can decide how many you want and how wide they need to be. Thats how i do it.
Hope this helps!
