cover

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'conceal' is the first definition.
(I know that conceal is a is a more specific form of the action of cover)

'report a story' is the second definition.
'cover' can be an answer for 'report' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'a story' bit.

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cover that I've seen before include "Protect - insure" , "Deal with" , "Mask, hide" , "the point of cricket" , "(Put) lid (on) - fielding position - insurance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News and The Globe and Mail.
