Editor upset with writers' reports (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

describes

'reports' is the definition.
(I know this)

'editor upset with writers'' is the wordplay.
'editor' becomes 'ed' (abbreviation).
'upset' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'writers'' becomes 'scribes' (scribe is a kind of writer).
'ed' backwards is 'de'.
'de'+'scribes'='DESCRIBES'

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
