Again left after the news (6)
I believe the answer is:
report
'the news' is the definition.
(report is a kind of news)
'again left after' is the wordplay.
'again' becomes 're'.
'left' becomes 'port' (left side of a ship - opposite of starboard).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
're'+'port'='REPORT'
(Other definitions for report that I've seen before include "Work for a newspaper" , "Noise - information" , "News item - sound of gun" , "Sudden noise (gunfire)" , "Relate; gun noise" .)
