I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bluster' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'country upset about newspaper trouble i will probe company' is the wordplay.
'country upset about newspaper' becomes 'bragg' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'trouble' becomes 'ado' (both can mean bother or commotion).
'will probe' means one lot of letters goes inside another (probe can mean to poke or prod into).
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'i' placed inside 'co' is 'cio'.
'bragg'+'ado'+'cio'='BRAGGADOCIO'

(Another definition for braggadocio that I've seen is " Boastful and arrogant behaviour".)
