If we can, what is the difference of use?

Answer

I think you probably could use 'at' if it's understood that by 'independent newspaper' you're referring to the place of work i.e. the office where the newspaper is produced.

Answer

You can use "at" - to denote a location.  "for" to denote a reason.
