Is it true that if you wrap up a magazine/newspaper or a piece of wood and put it in your fist it strengthens your punch? Or would having something hard in your palm while punching make it weaker?

I think the principle is the same as having hand wraps. It prevents your knuckle from collapsing in on themselves.
So in theory: yes.

Yeah, it works. I'm not sure why, but is something related to keeping your knuckles and fingers from closing and losing force upon impact. You could say is giving your fist a basis to sustain itself harder.
I always heard about people using lighters for this. It sort of reinforces or braces your knuckles so they won't break as easily when you hit something hard.

Lighter is a very bad idea.
You know why? because it gonna blow your hand/fingers.

so use an empty lighter then tardo

The keys, a roll of coins or even a pen are better ideas than lighters.
