Hello parv
-What newspaper do you read? or
Which newspaper do you read?
- What newspapers do you read ? all newspapers.
- Which newspapers do you read : the " Monde", the "Figaro " ? There is a choice in a limited set.
Have a nice day.

Hello,

Without any context both sentences are correct.
If you ask what...you talk about all the newspapers, you don't talk about 2 or 3 or 4 papers.
If you use which you talk about a few newspapers, you can choose among them.

What actors do you like? ...there are so many I can't make a list!
Which of these 3 actors do you like best? ...I prefer x among the 3 of them.
