Amends style in article intended for audience (9)
I believe the answer is:
atonement
'amends' is the definition.
(atonement is a kind of amends)
'style in article intended for audience' is the wordplay.
'style in article' becomes 'atone' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'intended' becomes 'meant' (to mean something is to intend it).
'for audience' shows a homophone (sound like) (how it might sound to an audience).
'meant' sounds like 'ment'.
'atone'+'ment'='ATONEMENT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for atonement that I've seen before include "Compensation for a wrong" , "Reparation (for a wrong)" , "Making amends" , "Expiation of sin, penance" , "reparations?" .)
