Breaking: Man in Raincoat opens up to public (9)
I believe the answer is:
newsflash
'public' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'breaking man in raincoat opens up' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'man' could be 'ash' and 'ash' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for newsflash that I've seen before include "Bulletin" , "Brief report" , "Dramatic announcement" .)
