Attempt broadcast of a certain appeal? (5)
I believe the answer is:
essay
'attempt' is the definition.
(I know that attempt can be written as essay)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for essay that I've seen before include "Test" , "Analytic or interpretive literary composition (5_" , "example of Hazlitt's work" , "Written academic work" , "Attempt - piece of writing" .)
