'change' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are verbs in their base form.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'layout of european newspaper in advance' is the wordplay.
'layout of european' becomes 'e' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'newspaper' becomes 'organ' (I've seen this before).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'advance' becomes 'rise' (synonyms).
'e'+'organ'='eorgan'
'eorgan' going into 'rise' is 'REORGANISE'.
