Waste newsprint is defibered in an aqueous bath to which is added a deinking agent. The resulting slurry or pulp is rinsed, drained and formed into paper sheets. The deinking agent is a C.sub.14 to C.sub.20 alpha olefin sulfonate or a mixture of C.sub.18 alpha olefin sulfonate and a non-ionic detergent, depending upon the conditions of the deinking bath.
