les journaux locaux


Explanation:
'Papers' must stands for newspapers. 'Commmunity' as I understand it refers to the people of a district considered collectively as in the following example: they are preparing prisoners for life back in the community.

Hence I think 'community papers' are newspapers that are distributed among inhabitants of a certain district or area.

Does it fit in your context?

Explanation:
I forgot to say that these are free newspapers that are put in your letterbox!

Anyway, I don't think you have to specify that these are free.

Best of luck,

Charlotte
