A bogus journalist humiliated (7)
I believe the answer is:
ashamed
'humiliated' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'a bogus journalist' is the wordplay.
'bogus' becomes 'sham' (I've seen this before).
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'a'+'sham'+'ed'='ASHAMED'
(Other definitions for ashamed that I've seen before include "He's Adam (anag.)" , "Feeling bad, having done something wrong" , "Mortified or consciencestricken" , "Troubled by feelings of guilt or embarrassment" , "Sorry" .)
