Head to Saint Denis, Valentine and Blackwater and pick up the Saint Denis Times, New Hanover Gazette and Blackwater Ledger respectively from the newspaper seller in town. Certain newspapers will only be available after you have passed a certain point in the story, and some cheats are actually locked off based on how far you have progressed. Because of this, you might want to finish the main campaign first to get the best experience.
You can also find various cheats in the open world, etched onto the surfaces in the environment as well.
