Comedian covering news sources (5)

I believe the answer is:

media

'news sources' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'comedian covering' is the wordplay.
'covering' indicates a hidden word.
'MEDIA' can be found hidden inside 'comedian'.

(Other definitions for media that I've seen before include "Eg, newspapers, TV" , "Mass communication organs" , "TV, radio, papers, etc" , "sources of information" , "News outlets" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
