Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'newspaper' (a news publication) and 'publisher' (an organization or person who issues publications), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer 'publisher of a newspaper.' This is a common noun + noun modifier pattern cross-linguistically and follows straightforward English compounding, making the phrase immediately comprehensible.
Etymology
Newspaper publisher comes from early print shops where people used a printing press to make many copies of the news. A newspaper was the printed pages and a publisher was the person or company who paid to run the press and send the papers out, so the phrase now means 'a person or company that owns and is responsible for producing and distributing a newspaper'.
