Drink with reporters or censor (10)
I believe the answer is:
suppressor
'censor' is the definition.
'drink with reporters or' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'sup' (to sup is to drink).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'reporters' becomes 'press' (members of the press).
'sup'+'press'+'or'='SUPPRESSOR'
I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
