Are you sure it was a newsPAPER article and not a webpage?
If you want to save a webpage, select “save as” or “save” in your browser, you can alternatively print the webpage as a PDF document. Those options are much better for web pages.

It was an article on a newspaper web page. I have determined that I created the file using Open Office, not Libre Office. Actually when I create a similar file with Libre Office it does not save the photo. Just an empty image box. I am going to reload OO and see what happens

Images (plural) and an image in a webpage are always pasted as a link. A single image can be pasted in an embedded manner via CNTL+SHIFT+V (paste special). The related enhancement request to improve this is fdo#51609.
