Decrease in newspapers (5)
I believe the answer is:
press
This clue could be a double definition.
'decrease' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'newspapers' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for press that I've seen before include "Printing house" , "Iron (clothes)" , "Crush - Fleet Street of old" , "Forcibly enlist" , "rags together" .)
