Hello,
In order to add new social media to the sharing buttons you can follow this tutorial to see how it can be done. This is for linkedin but you can use the same method to add your own social network. https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/linkedin-button/
As for the QR code, the theme has no option for it. You can maybe find a plugin that has this functionality.
These plugins are not tested but there are a bunch of them like: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-qr-code-generator/ Try them out and see how they work.
Thank you!

so it means that I have to modify source code every time when I upgrade newspaper theme?

Hello,
You could use a child theme to edit the particular file but if the file will be changed you will still have to edit the code again, but it will save you some time until the file will be edited. You should save your modification in a separate file and if the module file will be changed in a future update you simply copy over the code.
Thank you!
