'a daily' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'organises hide and hunt' is the wordplay.
'organises' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'organized' mean this).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'hide'+'hunt'='hidehunt'
'hidehunt' with letters rearranged gives 'THE HINDU'.

'perhaps' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
