It helps the newspaper burn slower.

I would think that it makes the newspaper burn hotter, as well as
longer. I've stopped using newspaper, myself. Wax paper is the way to
go! Just make a big wad and put it under your charcoal chimney, light
it, and go about your business. In 15 minutes, you've got fire. Easy,
cheap, burns clean, and leaves very little ash.
