Board criticise editorial being gutted (5)
I believe the answer is:
panel
'board' is the definition.
(I know that board can be written as panel)
'criticise editorial being gutted' is the wordplay.
'criticise' becomes 'pan' (informal term meaning to criticise heavily).
'being gutted' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (to gut something is to remove its insides).
'editorial' with its centre removed is 'el'.
'pan'+'el'='PANEL'
(Other definitions for panel that I've seen before include "Committee to judge a competition or list from which to appoint someone" , "Team of judges" , "Judging committee" , "Dashboard; jury" , "Group of judges" .)
