Blast the news! (6)
I believe the answer is:
report
This clue is a double definition.
'blast' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'news' is the second definition.
(report is a kind of news)
'the' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for report that I've seen before include "Written account" , "Work for a newspaper" , "School student's assessment" , "Narrative given by porter" , "'Description, account (6)'" .)
