Attach too much importance to reporters who pigged out (7)
I believe the answer is:
overate
'pigged out' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'attach too much importance to reporters' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'too much' could be 'over' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'over' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ate' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'who' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for overate that I've seen before include "Binged, glutted" , "Gormandised" , "consumed too much" , "got stuffed" .)
