I understand everything correctly. And I am strongly against this format. It gives the Mafia a huge amount of room for maneuver and makes the town's chances of winning zero.

Were the players unhappy that the GM was making uninformative newspapers? Great idea, I'll remove all information from the newspapers, leaving only notes, let the Mafia lie as much as they want and pull the wool over everyone's eyes, because it won't be possible to check their lies based on the newspaper.
