A question about stock buybacks?

When a company is buying back it's own common shares - do they try to get the best price for those shares?

I mean, do they sometimes withhold news that would generate excitement for the stock, just so they could buy back their own stock at a cheaper price?

So when they buy their own stock - is it just like any investor buying stock - where they would employ tactics to try and get the share back for as cheap as possible?

Thanks.
