Newspaper Delivery
Emma:
Nope, it is the space available that is on the same level as the front door. I had a few lots (mostly eaxis made) that had only a 2x4 front porch and every time a sim came to drop off a gift they wouldn't drop it if it was larger than the space available. I've combated this by building a large back porch and leaving at least 3x4 squares free of any objects/doors. They drop things there instead. I've also noticed that for things like backrubs that require a certain amount of free space for the sim to manoveur, they will find space on the same level to do it, even if it means leaving their own apartment built on a foundation to walk right across the lot to a neighbour's front porch. Duh, silly sims.
So, leave at least 3 tiles free by the front door (just in case you let papers accumulate.) ;)

I buyable-ize the papers and just bury 3 someplace right off the bat. This keeps the annoying newspaper-12 from ever spawning in my game at all, so I have one less junk character clogging up my send-to-uni menu and game files! Also, I hate kids. And death to Emma!

if you have AL, you must have a foundation under your stairs when your house is on a foundation.
You don't need to have a foundation under your stairs. What you need is space next to the door (on the same level) for the newspaper girl/boy to put the newspaper on. It doesn't matter if the floor tile in question is supported by a foundation or not, at least not on the lots in my game.
Yes, I did only have one stair hanging from my door. Thanks all for clearing that up!
Dea:
On one apartment lot the newspaper girl didn't have enough room to put the newspaper by the door so she would walk down to the basement common area to deliver the newspaper.

The un-awesome masses beg for a "spawn newspapers" action in the lot debugger.
