Conceals or reports story? (6)

I believe the answer is:

covers

This clue is a double definition.

'conceals' is the first definition.
(covering is a kind of concealing)

'reports story?' is the second definition.
(as in a journalist covering a story)

'or' is the link.

(Other definitions for covers that I've seen before include "Bedclothes" , "Forms a layer over" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
