A lithographic newspaper printing press comprises printing units (4.1 to 4.5) which are mounted on top of each other, forming a tower arrangement (2). Each printing unit comprises a first and a second plate cylinder (24a, 24b) having a length being substantially four times the width of a newspaper page and having a circumference being substantially equal to the height of a newspaper page. Each printing unit 4 further comprises a first and a second blanket cylinder (10a, 10b) associated with said first and second plate cylinders (24a, 24b), whereby each of said first and second blanket cylinders (10a, 10b) has substantially the same diameter as the associated plate cylinder (24a, 24b). Each of the blanket cylinders (10a, 10b) carries a respective continuous sleeve-shaped printing blanket (12a, 12b) which is axially removable from the respective plate cylinder through an aperture formed in the side wall of the housing of the printing unit, while the respective blanket cylinder (10a, 10b) is cantilevered in the opposite side wall of the housing.
