For a newspaper, a week start on sunday and ends in a saturday.

Media planners divide ads in newspapers by monhs and than by weeks,
respectively.

so let's say:

january 2001 started in a monday

Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
        1    2    3   4   5   6  - 1st week
    7   8    9  10 11 12 13  - 2nd week
14  15  16  17 18 19 20  - 3rd week
21  22  23  24 25 26 27  - 4th week
 28  29  30  31                 - 5th week

So january is a month that has 5 weeks for a newspaper, because if I would
put an ad on a tuesday, january has 5 tuesdays.. got it?

How do I do to calculate that?

Damn question!

All months have more than 4 weeks except February (but only when it is
not a leap year).

I'm probably not understanding what exactly you are trying to do.

By your definition then, wouldn't this month only have 3 weeks?
    January 2001
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
    1  2  3  4  5  6
 7  8  9 10 11 12 13
14 15 16 17 18 19 20
21 22 23 24 25 26 27
28 29 30 31

Yet there are 10 unaccounted days which is 1 and 3/7 more weeks.
