composting newsprint


I am curious if anyone has had experience with composting newsprint. Last fall I began to add it to my regular compost bin with apparently good results. The earth worms were definitely drawn to it. I only used those sections which had no/minimum color and did not use anything which was glossy or "stiff". Our local newspaper is printed using a soy based ink. Any comments?
