Electronic news media captivated by Céline's economic woes (10)
I believe the answer is:
depression
'electronic news media captivated by celine's economic woes' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'electronic news media captivated by celine's economic' is the wordplay.
'electronic' becomes 'e' (as in e-mail or e-books).
'news media' becomes 'press' (I've seen this in another clue).
'captivated by' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'celine's economic' becomes 'dion' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'e'+'press'='epress'
'epress' inserted into 'dion' is 'DEPRESSION'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for depression that I've seen before include "mental anguish" , "Blues" , "Bad times" , "despair" , "Pit" .)
