sorry…i.m a newbie….Hereafter i wont post all in caps..
The ‘white screen of death’ you can see on your site can be caused by a PHP syntax error, sometimes something as seemingly trivial as a missed semicolon at the end of a line or an open quote.
Did you edit any of the php files before the site went down? If so did you make a backup before editing. If so, restore the file you edited from your backup using FTP. If not, download the zip of the theme or plugin you edited, unzip it to your computer and restore the file you edited using FTP.
ok so after you deactivated all the plugins, what did you do next?

May i know please how to Connect to the site using FTP??
you need an ftp client such as filezilla configured to connect to your site files. Ask your hosting company for your ftp connection details if you don’t know them. See: http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients

yep…i logged in to http://FTP..
ftp://newspapersonlinefree.com/wp-admin/
searched for functions.php
But i able to see only upgrade-functions.php & admin-functions.php
functions.php is part of your theme. In your theme, look inside wp-content/themes/your-theme
When making changes using a child theme is recommended rather than editing the theme’s files directly.

which is the duplicate copy & its location?
Also may i know which one is fresh copy & its location?
What theme are you using? You need to get new copy of the file from a new download of the theme or a backup copy of it before you changed it.
If it’s a theme from this site, find it via this page:
