About the morning papers (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ream

'papers' is the definition.
(a ream is a large amount of paper)

'about the morning' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'the morning' becomes 'am' (as in re:00 AM).
're'+'am'='REAM'

(Other definitions for ream that I've seen before include "stock of paper" , "Five hundred sheets of paper" , "516 sheets of paper" , "480 or 500 sheets" , "Widen out (bore)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
