Eastern journalist holding glove being discharged (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emitted

'being discharged' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'eastern journalist holding glove' is the wordplay.
'eastern' becomes 'e'.
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'holding' indicates putting letters inside.
'glove' becomes 'mitt' (synonyms).
'e'+'ed'='eed'
'eed' placed around 'mitt' is 'EMITTED'.

(Other definitions for emitted that I've seen before include "Sent forth" , "Discharged" , "Put out" , "Expelled" , "Gave out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
