Cut two journalists (6)
I believe the answer is:
hacked
'cut' is the definition.
(hack can mean to chop or cut up)
'two journalists' is the wordplay.
'two journalists' means two substitutions for 'journalist'.
'journalist' becomes 'hack' (I've seen this before).
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'hack'+'ed'='HACKED'
(Other definitions for hacked that I've seen before include "like a lot of voicemail" , "Chopped at, or broke into computer system" .)
