titles / periodicals

Although we don't have much context here, it seems very unlikely that "titres" refers only to newspapers. Weekly, monthly or quarterly publications are almost certainly magazines or journals. The generic term for all these things is periodicals; more technically, they can all be called serials. Some people would distinguish newspapers from periodicals. But in any case, the word "titles" can be and commonly is used to refer to periodical publications, particularly in a commercial context, and I would recommend using it here.

"Although specialized, many of Intertec's titles have more than 100,000 subscribers which is an amazing number for a trade magazine. [...]
Some of its largest titles include Macworld, InfoWorld, Network World, Channel World, [...]"

Merci beaucoup Marina, Je voulais juste m'assurer de mes pistes.
Peer comment(s):

disagree B D Finch : Not just newspapers, magazines and journals too; "bimensuels, mensuels, bimestriels, trimestriels ou hors série" aren't "newspapers".

print titles

Newspapers tend to be daily publications, and they usually exclude magazines (there are no hard rules though - eg, the Economist is a magazine but refers to itself as a "newspaper"). Depending on the rest of your context, "print titles", "digital titles" or just "titles" may fit better.
Example sentence:

As such it can be no surprise that NME announced a similar move last month. Like the Standard and Time Out this is a print title with an impeccable history of success and influence but no prospect of commercial survival in the digital age.

Papers

J'aurais juste dit: Papers
Pas forcément "News" ..

serial titles

Library term for all publications with an ISSN number (oftentimes) to differentiate publications classified as monographs (ISBN). The cited variety are various publication frequency as publication pattern. There are of course, monographs that are series but these titles do not get classified as serials...

Ask any cataloging librarian and you will be given a lecture on the classification of the publications.
