I was wondering considering the keene free press which is somewhat a different news paper from what I can understand of the online edition where anyone can publish. Is the published paper-version printed on Newspaper paper? If so, how do one normally go about and do so? Get an own printing press?

I can answer this one.... yes.
Most publishing, particularly small scale, is outsourced. Most printers, even other papers are desperate to make a buck off some of their unused printers. Of course as long as you do not compete in their news market. In the states a lot of advertising is also printed on newsprint.
We pay someone else to print it. It costs me $400/issue to have it printed and shipped - that's for 5000 copies, 8 pages, black ink.
Wow, that's cheaper than I'd expected. Maybe I'll start a newspaper!
