Here are some tips that may help you to use Newspaper theme with WordPress 5.0

1. Image lazy load
You can try purging all cache (browser cache, CDN cache, Cache plugin cache). Disabling JavaScript minification will help as a theme by default serves a minified version of the JavaScript. If this doesn’t help you can disable Lazy load option from theme panel. Refer: https://i.imgur.com/zhUFavs.png

2. Enable Classic Editor
Not ready for Gutenberg?
You can easily enable Classic editor by installing Classic Editor Plugin by WordPress Contributors. The plugin also allows you to switch between both editors. Refer: https://i.imgur.com/VBYzo1t.png and https://i.imgur.com/viBr9eR.png
