A little bloomer from news source without knowledge (6)
I believe the answer is:
floret
'a little bloomer' is the definition.
(small flower - something that blooms)
'news source without knowledge' is the wordplay.
'news source' becomes 'FT' (Financial Times newspaper).
'without' means one lot of letters goes inside another ('without' can be similar in meaning to 'outside').
'knowledge' becomes 'lore' (lore is a kind of knowledge).
'ft' enclosing 'lore' is 'FLORET'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for floret that I've seen before include "Piece of broccoli" , "Broccoli stem" , "Part of cauli head" , "Part of a cauliflower or broccoli head" , "Small flower" .)
