One of mine: Pratt.
The Alternate is a slightly finer cut.
Try it out at WebINK with reduced linespacing and tighter letterspacing--it's a semi-condensed face with a large x-height and short descenders, so that will give you the kind of typographic punch that one gets in good print newspapers.

Thanks old nick and Mr. Shinn!
