Corresponding squeeze occurring in New York-based news agency (10,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

associated press

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

'news agency' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'corresponding squeeze occurring in new york-based' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'squeeze' could be 'press' (synonyms) and 'press' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'associated' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for associated press that I've seen is " News agency".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
