I can't think of anything that's made specifically for newspapers, but
you could look at things like Wordpress, or on a more complicated but
more flexible note, Drupal.

Both will do the things you mentioned with a little work... Drupal is
more of a full blown CMS, but will probably be more work to customize
and skin.

Or if you're working with a good dev you could probably build these
things in Ruby On Rails pretty quickly using a lot of available
components...
