Describe time in factual presentation (9)
I believe the answer is:
reportage
'factual presentation' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'describe time' is the wordplay.
'describe' becomes 'report' (synonyms).
'time' becomes 'age' (an age is a period of time).
'report'+'age'='REPORTAGE'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reportage that I've seen before include "newspaper articles" , "News presentation" , "Style of one making documentary" , "Press accounts" , "Factual journalism" .)
