Author(s): Hassan Abdulreda Jassim and Zaid Abdulhakim Thamer

Abstract: The objective of the study was to determine, from the perspective of the employees of the Al-Zaman daily, the strategies that are used to manage the editorial team. This research is classified as descriptive research and is based on the survey method. A questionnaire was distributed to a sample of one hundred people working for the Al-Zaman newspaper. One group of findings emerged from the research. Among these, the most significant ones are: Following the phrase "management relies on democratic dialogue methods" in dealing with the workers in the editorial staff, the phrase "management relies on the method of reward and punishment" came to the forefront when it came to the methods of managing the editorial staff in the Al-Zaman newspaper. Both of these phrases were used in the context of dealing with the editorial staff. Based on the findings, it was determined that the administration only gives the editorial staff the authority to make decisions regarding specific subjects. Editors encounter a number of hurdles in their work, the most significant of which are the obvious interference of the administration in their judgements, the obstacles they meet, and the pressures they face from legislators. Due to the variable (kind of work, years of experience, and educational level), it was demonstrated that there were statistically significant variations between the respondents in terms of their participation in editorial decision-making inside the newspaper. Both of these factors were taken into consideration.
