Briefer (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shorter

'briefer' is the definition.
('short' can be a synonym of 'brief')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for shorter that I've seen before include "More lacking in length" , "With less length" , "Lower in stature" , "More limited in duration" , "Brusquer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and the Sydney Morning Herald.
