A bogus journalist getting red-faced (7)
I believe the answer is:
ashamed
'red-faced' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'a bogus journalist getting' is the wordplay.
'bogus' becomes 'sham' (I've seen this before).
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'a'+'sham'+'ed'='ASHAMED'
(Other definitions for ashamed that I've seen before include "He's Adam (anag.)" , "Feeling remorse and guilt" , "Feeling bad, having done something wrong" , "Having painful regret for behaviour" , "Humiliated" .)
