Source of fresh information (7)
I believe the answer is:
newsman
'source of fresh information' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'information' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'information' could be 'news' (news is a kind of information) and 'news' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'man' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for newsman that I've seen before include "he reports" , "Reporter" , "who sells rags" , "Journalist" , "Press person" .)
