This paper explored certain problems of newspaper management that confront newspaper in Nigeria and particularly Compass Newspaper. This paper particularly analysed the characteristics of the newspapers as it relate to departments, structures and base and problems associated with some of them. Different levels of management problems and types base on human or material and also internal and external challenges. Based on that, this paper argued that the type and level of management problems hinders the growth and development of newspapers in the country. The process of founding, managing and sustaining newspaper from the initial ‘new-to-the-market’ status, to competing with the already known and acceptable ones and other newcomers pose a serious challenge to the industry. According to some scholars, the main constraint on the process of building of core capabilities for the most innovative firms, including newspaper companies, is located at the level of the organization. In contrast, the main conclusion of this paper is that newspaper companies that are building up their first core capabilities still have problems related to lack of knowledge of management workings. This sets up specific issues for knowledge management in newspaper firms. This research is based on a detailed case study about the major management problems associated with, but not limited to, Nigerian newspapers.
