Go here and read my comments. Be especially sure to read on to see what Cabbiinc has to say, as he is a professional in the printing business and he gives some great information under my image.

try adjusting contrast and sharpening it, newspapers are usually way to dark right?, so lighten it up a little bit with contrast, for the scan lines, just try cropping the picture a little bit to deal with the side lines, makes the picture look more professional also
Check the input settings on your scanner. Many scanners have settings that can reduce some of the problems you're discussing. Look for something like Image Type: Black %26amp; White (or Color if that's what you have) Document or similar. You might try different settings to see which is the best for your particular scanner. Dr. Sam's answer that includes placing the picture at an angle on the scanner is worth a try as well.
In Photoshop it may be better to blur the image (Filter/Blur/Gaussian Blur) a little instead of sharpening. Sharpening would tend to just exaggerate the problems. Using Levels (Layer/New Adjustment Layer/Levels) would probably help as well.
not too sure. just try scanning it from a better scanner. or just ask the newspaper to borrow the actual picture and just have that.because they must have an original copy.
