Since there's really no easy way to relate the email and news tables 
and run one query, run two queries:

<CFQUERY DATASOURCE="OtherPress" NAME="getemail">
SELECT emailadress
FROM emails
</CFQUERY>

<CFQUERY DATASOURCE="OtherPress" NAME="news">
SELECT Number, Title, Author, ByLine, Text, PictureFile1, PictureName1,
PictureFile2, PictureName2, Type, EntryDate (change this name)
Alt1, Alt2, Sig1, Sig2, Sig3
FROM Stories
</CFQUERY>

Then send out the e-mails using the getemail query and loop through 
the news query for the content.

<CFMAIL QUERY="getemail"
TO="#emailaddress#"
FROM="The Other Press"
SUBJECT="The Other Press Weekly Mailing List">
Welcome to the Other Press Weekly Mailing List, here are this weeks stories:
    <cfloop query="news">
     #news.Title#
     By #news.Author# - #news.ByLine#
  ________
     </cfloop>
</CFMAIL>
