I posted this question earlier, and have been notified that 5 answers have been given, but for whatever reason, I am unable to see them when I go to the page!?!
Anyway, I am looking for the NOUN which refers to a child's job of delivering newspapers. Thank you all!

camelot


Explanation:
Grand Dictionnaire Terminologique:

Personne qui distribue les journaux à domicile.

Note :
Le terme camelot est aussi utilisé pour désigner la personne qui distribue de porte en porte les prospectus, les publisacs, etc. Bien que la forme camelote existe dans la francophonie, le terme camelot est considéré, du moins au Québec, comme étant épicène; ainsi, on dira : une camelot.
Les termes anglais paperboy (ou, selon le cas, papergirl) et newsboy ne s'utilisent que dans la mesure où le camelot est une jeune personne.
En France, le terme camelot sert à désigner un marchand ambulant vendant des marchandises à bon marché. Cependant, camelot y a aussi le sens de « vendeur de journaux à la criée », acception qui est maintenant considérée comme vieillie. Au Québec, ce sens est également attesté.

I personally feel that this term designs a street hawket.
Today, one says simply "livreur de journaux", or "porteur de journaux", child or not.
