A company that produces, publishes, and distributes books, magazines, newspapers, or other media.

She sent her manuscript to a large literary publishing house.
The noun 'der Verlag' (publishing house) comes directly from the verb 'verlegen'. In this context, 'ein Buch verlegen' means roughly 'to publish a book'. A 'Verlag' is therefore the company that publishes books.
Dieser Autor lässt seine Bücher nur von einem kleinen, unabhängigen Verlag verlegen.
This author has his books published only by a small, independent publishing house.
The word family includes 'der Verleger' or 'die Verlegerin' (the person who runs a publishing house) and the verb 'veröffentlichen' (to make something available to the public; to publish).
Die Verlegerin hat das Potenzial des jungen Autors sofort erkannt.
The publisher immediately recognized the young author's potential.
Common verbs used with 'Verlag' are 'einen Verlag finden' (to find a publishing house), 'ein Manuskript an einen Verlag schicken' (to send a manuscript to a publishing house), or 'ein Buch bei einem Verlag veröffentlichen' (to publish a book with a publishing house).
Es ist oft schwer, für das erste Buch einen passenden Verlag zu finden.

Pay attention to the prepositions: You send a manuscript 'an' einen Verlag (to a publishing house; direction). A book appears or is published 'bei' einem Verlag (by/with a publishing house; place/originator).

newspaper
'die Zeitung' and 'der Verlag' both belong to the world of media, but they do not mean the same thing. A newspaper is the product that you read, whether printed or digital. Sometimes 'die Zeitung' also means the editorial team or the media organization that produces the newspaper. A publishing house is the company that publishes and distributes media such as books, magazines, or newspapers. The words can be confused because a publishing house can publish a newspaper, and a newspaper can also act as an institution. If you mean the article or the issue, 'Zeitung' fits. If you mean the company behind publications, 'Verlag' fits.
