Where is the correct placement of adverbs in the sentences?

Is this sentence correct?

You could also say I read newspapers often/sometimes.

Or, occasionally Often/sometimes I read newspapers

But this doesn't work:
I read often/sometimes newspapers.

As long as you keep the verb and its object together, the position of the adverb is pretty flexible; you can move it around to change stress/emphasis/focus.

as i know, you can not use both of them together. as you use one of them, your sentence is correct.
