1. My father reads the newspaper every day.
2. My father reads the Press-Times every day.
3. My father reads the paper every day.
1 does not mean he reads the same newspaper every day! It means he reads each day's newspaper.
2 is fine, and it can mean the same as 1 or it can mean he reads whatever newspaper is handy each day.
3 is also fine. It means he reads more than one newspaper each day -- the current edition of each one every day.

Thank you for your explanation.
However, if my father has a strange habit of reading the same newspaper every day, what expressions can we use?
1. My father reads the newspaper every day.
