Corrected by the appropriate editor (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

righted

'corrected' is the definition.
('right' can be a synonym of 'correct')

'appropriate editor' is the wordplay.
'appropriate' becomes 'right' (similar in meaning).
'editor' becomes 'ed' (abbreviation).
'right'+'ed'='RIGHTED'

'by the' acts as a link.

(Another definition for righted that I've seen is " Made reparation".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
