30. It depends on the style manual each newspaper uses and which reporters must follow in their stories.

The New York Times has their own style manual. It's available from most libraries here. It requires addressing people as Mr. and Mrs. or Miss. The one I'm more familiar with and the one the vast majority (maybe all the rest, as I don't know of any papers not affiliated with the Times who use theirs) newspapers use is the AP Stylebook. It's online here. Here's a story from the Times explaining style.

Reference.org lists the differences between the two:

The New York Times Manual has various differences from the more influential Associated Press Stylebook. As some examples, the NYT Manual:

Uses 's for possessives even for a word/name ending in s

Gives rationales for many practices for which AP simply states a rule

Is strictly alphabetical and thus self-indexed, while AP has separate sections for sports and weather entries, and combines many entries under such terms as "weapons"

Has some whimsical entries – such as one for how to spell shh – in contrast to AP's drier, more utilitarian format (though the NYT book is not alone in its tone among journalistic style guides)

Requires that the surnames of subjects be prefixed with a courtesy title (such as Dr., Mr., Ms., or Mrs.). However, since about 2015, courtesy titles have not been used in sports pages, pop culture, and fine arts. Also, after the first use of honorifics denoting posts (such as President or Professor, but not Dr.) in an article, the person is subsequently referred to by an egalitarian courtesy title (e.g. 'President Biden' then 'Mr. Biden').

Uses its own style for abbreviations rather than deferring to common usage; for example the National Football League is abbreviated NFL in most sources but N.F.L. in the New York Times
