I recall having read that News shall be removed from core distribution and replaced with a more modern module. I just cant find where I read this, nor do I remember the name of that module which is what I am after. Any clues? Thanks.

The 2.3 beta was going to replace News with PressRoom, but that has been scrapped. We will still be considering updating or replacing News as it's a very dated module, but not with something that doesn't have an upgrade/migration path.
LISE is a viable third-party alternative if News doesn't have the features you need.

Can PressRoom module be downloaded anywhere? I don't plan to install it, or use it, but want to look at source code hoping to find a different pagination example (different to News,etc).

You can still find the 2.3 beta on
http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/project/files/6#package-26
I think PressRoom is in there as a core module, but I can't remember for sure. You'll have to install it to find out.
