The present invention is to provide a newspaper vending machine which dispenses a single newspaper one at a time while protecting the remaining newspapers from pilferage and the elements. The vending machine includes a plurality of sequentially fixed rectangular slots to each support a newspaper. A releasable bottom door has a side extension attached to each slot. When a pull lever is outwardly pulled, the bottom door is forced open by a trip lever which pushes against a trip rod causing a newspaper to slide out of the slot and onto a slide bar. The newspaper then slides to the front of the vending machine where it is picked up by the purchaser. Specifically, a trip lever engaging device includes a pull hook which pulls a pull belt to cause the pull lever to engage a peripheral flange and thereby cause the bottom door of the newspaper slot to open and the newspaper to drop down.
