I believe the answer is:

editor

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

'newspaper leader' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'credit organiser for framing' is the wordplay.
'EDITOR' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for editor that I've seen before include "Source of leaders" , "Or tied up my boss" , "One who orders copy" , "Director of newspaper" , "Person in charge of paper" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
