Hello,

I would abstain from shop=* as a shop is a place where products can be bought: 
"/Use shop=* to mark the location of a shop and the products that it *sells*./" 
[1].

I would also abstain from craft=* as it applies to "/small production of goods 
*on demand and by order*/"  [2]

The places where newspapers are printed are called either "printing press" or 
"printing works", so I'd go for something with either "?=printing_press" or 
"?=printing_works".

As for the key to use, depending on the size of the machines involved, the 
number of copies printed, the amount of paper used on a daily basis, and the 
number of workers involved, the place could go from a small office (office=*) 
to a large industrial building (industrial=*). You know, you decide! :-)

Solutions using man_made=works leave me lukewarm, as you'll have to specify the 
kind of work performed, and (/unhapply, IMHO/) that should be done through the 
product=* key, but on one hand something like product=printing_press could mean 
the place where printing presses are actually manufactured and on the other 
product=newspaper could mean the (/possibly industrial-size/) place wher 
journalists work to compose the newspaper. It would had been easier if for a 
finer description of man_made=works we had used an activity=* keyword instead 
of product=*, but "man_made=works + product=printing_works" can probably be OK 
too...

Cheers,

Sergio
