Copy out of the newspaper (3)
I believe the answer is:
ape
'copy' is the definition.
(ape can mean to copy or imitate)
'of the newspaper' is the wordplay.
'of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'APE' can be found hidden inside 'newspaper'.
'out' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for ape that I've seen before include "Simian - copy" , "Large primate" , "Closely follow" , "Send up" , "drill" .)
