During delay, journalist must be located (9)
I believe the answer is:
installed
'located' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'during delay journalist' is the wordplay.
'during' becomes 'in' (I've seen this in other clues).
'delay' becomes 'stall' (stalling is a kind of delaying).
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'in'+'stall'+'ed'='INSTALLED'
'must be' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for installed that I've seen before include "Given office" , "In position ready to use" , "Put in or set up for use" , "Put in and prepared for use" , "Parked" .)
