Aware of alternative loo for reporters (5,2)
I believe the answer is:
privy to
'aware of' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'alternative loo for reporters' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'loo' could be 'privy' (I've seen this before) and 'privy' is located in the answer.
'for' could be 'to' (eg both can mean 'in the opinion of') and 'to' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for privy to that I've seen is " Sharing in other's plans or secrets".)
