You should first research your market,talk to the people in your neighborhood that you plan to involve to see if they are interested.Some maybe and some may not.If you have several that are ,then don't give up and continue planning and developing.
Keep this in mind whether the paper works or not,you may be able to use the information you receive here in a different way later.
Best Wishes,
Sue

hey you go dude !! wayyyyyy cool . First of all though check for prices on the paper printing and such and how many in circulation < or newspapers you want to print ? I would start with a few and see how it goes and if it dosn't go well at least you would maybe be out a few hundred bucks or less HOPEFULLY MUCH LESS. CHECK IT ALL THOUGH AND BE CAREFUL ASK LOTS AND LOTS OF QUESTIONS AND even write down what you want to ask and who you need to ask and want to call it would save lots of time that way. Also call your local newspaper maybe and get info from their Managers too, so that you make sure you will do and or printing different stories than them. GREAT IDEA AND MUCH LUCK TO YOU .

Good for you! There are some great hints above.
Let me pass along another thought which can help you around needing a printing press etc...

Good Fortune to You!

This has been done successfully many times already, so if you work up some good plans and apply real effort, sure you can do it too!
