Attentive journalist pursues money accrued (10)
I believe the answer is:
interested
'attentive' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'journalist pursues money accrued' is the wordplay.
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'pursues' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'money accrued' becomes 'interest'.
'ed' after 'interest' is 'INTERESTED'.
(Other definitions for interested that I've seen before include "Attentive" , "Concerned" , "Partisan" , "Not impartial" , "Wanting to know" .)
