Linux magazine,the pommy one, are currently running a series on laying out a 
newspaper using Scribus, Has some interesting discussion of layout and in 
particular CMYK issues.
Is not in the online archive,unfortunately, but the two issues are No 49 and 
50.

http://www.linux-magazine.com

is the website for the magazine.
The third installment is next issue, but if you would like to borrow my copy 
for a read I could let it go for a few days.

Love
Mike.
