A method of inserting supplements into newspapers or magazines (20) and a general method of opening newspapers or magazines prior to the insertion process entail sepa- rate newspapers being transported in open state through an insertion station. The spines of the newspapers are held in firm contact with pocketlike holders (14, 45) on a conveyor (10) and the holders (14, 45) are caused to temporarily open when they pass the insertion station (60, 61), the firm contact between newspaper (20) and holders being still maintained. Apparatus for performing the method comprises a conveyor (10) and an insertion arrangement (60, 61) with means (14, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26) to open each newspaper (20) and means (60, 61) to insert a supplement into the opened newspaper. The apparatus may also include a second conveyor (40) with separate grip- pers (45) for each newspaper. The conveyor (40) extends through the conveyor (10). The apparatus also includes means (P11, P12, P13) to temporarily open each gripper during its passage through the insertion station (60, 61; P12) of the insertion equipment. The apparatus furthermore includes means (46) to maintain orientation and position of the newspaper in relation to the gripper (45) while the latter is open in the insertion station (P12).
