Crossword Genius

Chief editorial (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leader

This clue is a double definition.

'chief' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'editorial' is the second definition.
(both can mean a type of newspaper article)

(Other definitions for leader that I've seen before include "important member of orchestra" , "Editor's article" , "Front-runner or head of group" , "Pioneer" , "Superior" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
