Obtained with an initially as a joint venture partner ( publisher of a trade magazine ) Warsaw entrepreneurs came shortly after the founding of the newspaper to inconsistencies. There was a dispute over several weeks and two issues of the title were each transferred ( by either party ) until NWP was able to prevail in parallel.

From 2002 onwards, there were problems with the Polish tax authorities. 2004 was after a restructuring of the Polish publisher and sale to the New World Publishing Polska Sp.zoo an agreement on the tax liabilities are met. In August 2004, the media company Valkea Media SA took over then the title. In addition, smaller other publications of the Polish NWP were transferred to the new owner. Under the new owners in 2005, the print run of 10,000 copies of the newspaper was initially increased to 15,000 copies.
