Does anyone use shredded newspapers

I had a thought and was wondering if there would be any drawbacks to using newspapers that have gone through a paper shredder as bedding. It would be absorbent and could compost when I am done with it. I know I threw it in with my worms when I was composting with red wigglers.

Has anyone else used papers?

I know the ink is probably not the best, but otherwise I have not thought of any other negatives.
 
I use them in the brooder. Easy clean up because they get matted together like a big shag carpet. Just roll it up and trow it away. Not sure that's what I want in the coop. I started using oak wood chips instead of pine shavings there.
