Article remains in story for talk (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

liaise

'talk' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'article remains in story' is the wordplay.
'article remains' becomes 'ais' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'story' becomes 'lie' (story can mean a fabrication).
'ais' inserted within 'lie' is 'LIAISE'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for liaise that I've seen before include "Act as contact" , "Work together" , "Foster co-operation" , "Cooperate on a matter of mutual concern" , "Keep in touche with" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
