One question should be answered - what kind of newspaper? "Classic" magazine 
with various photos etc. or something like "technical"?
First case can handle Scribus and in the second one I use (La)TeX with "write 
skeleton once, content change every week" philosphy...

wow... kohonen should onquer the world (one day). I know that the hyphenation 
is based on TeX hyphen files (exactly - I did the Czech hyphs from TeX 
source).

And what about download Scribus, install it and try it in e.g. two-three days 
to make decission?
