Editor put in report, back in European country (6)
I believe the answer is:
sweden
'european country' is the definition.
(Sweden is an example)
'editor put in report back' is the wordplay.
'editor' becomes 'ed'.
'put in' indicates putting letters inside.
'report' becomes 'news' ('news report' can be a synonym of 'report'**).
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'ed' inserted into 'news' is 'nedews'.
'nedews' backwards is 'SWEDEN'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for sweden that I've seen before include "ditto" , "Baltic country" , "EU member country" , "We send to Scandinavian country" , "European kingdom" .)
