CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
In a
newspaper organization, there are various factors that determine the
successful operation of the sales and distribution channels.
Accordingly, even minor issues in these operations can adversely affect
the newspaper. A customer may choose a newspaper for various reasons.
However, it’s up to the newspaper agencies to communicate to the
customer that their newspaper can deliver all the values a customer may
look for. The reach and popularity of a newspaper to a large extent
depends on its distribution network. Here we have carried out an
analysis on the delivery and sales management of the Newspaper in order
to better understand their channel and also identify and provide
possible solutions to any shortcomings Plambeck, J. (April 26, 2010).
Newspapers have unique characteristics, in that they are delivered to
approximately 54,000 (ADVAN 2006) retail outlets nationwide everyday,
the content changes substantially from day-to-day and the demand for
them will have all but expired by lunchtime on the day of sale. Although
some other products might share one or two of these characteristics,
their combination in newspapers means that the process of getting this
product from supplier to consumer is substantially different from others
in the economy. As a result, newspapers have a distribution system that
is largely dedicated to that one product. This project aim is to
provide a basic factual presentation of the role of Newspaper vendors on
Newspaper Distribution process identifies the main characteristics of
the supply chains for newspapers and magazines in Nigeria.
This
paper is intended to give a high-level overview as to how the Nigeria
Distribution chains for newspapers and magazines is being managed at the
different levels of the supply chains. In so doing, the paper aims to
set out some basic, relevant background information which it is hoped

1.2 Statement of the Problem
The problems that lead to the study
of this project arises form the issue of nature newspaper supply chains
as compared to other products at all levels of the supply chains
(publishing, wholesaling and retailing) and in the nature of the
interactions between these levels.
Unlike supply chains for many
other products, which are retailer-driven, the newspaper and magazine
supply chains are publisher-led. In particular, publishers appear to
exercise a strong degree of influence over pricing at all stages of the
supply chains by printing a price on the cover (cover prices) and
setting, or recommending, the margins earned by Newspaper vendors.
