Article by newspaper (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
the times
'newspaper' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'article by' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'the' (the definite article).
'by' becomes 'times' ('times' can mean multiplied by).
'the'+'times'='THE TIMES'
(Other definitions for the times that I've seen before include "paper" , "British daily newspaper" .)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
