I wrote " My friend doesn't read an uninteresting newspaper." And it's not accepted.
Chances are you had a typo. "My friend doesn't read an uninteresting newspaper." is an accepted translation.
Isn't 'a' redundant? The sentence can refer to all boring newspapers in general
I guess for now they just want an exact translation before you slack off a little, probably so you can learn the basics.

In Korean, as we are learning still, this can represent no specific newspaper or any newspapers in general that the friend considers boring. Bored because of boring newspaper(s).
I put "My friend doesn't read boring newspapers" and it was marked as correct, with a typo. I understand the plural in Korean is often assumed based on context and I thought "newspapers" sounded more natural than "a newspaper" in this sentence, but out of curiosity, would singular have been more accurate or was my answer fine?
Chances are you actually had a typo. "My friend doesn't read boring newspapers." is currently accepted. Duolingo doesn't consider dropping an article as a typo.
