Ross

I believe the answer is:

editor

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'employee in paper company' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'corrected it or checked' is the wordplay.
'EDITOR' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am unsure how the hidden word is indicated.

'who' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for editor that I've seen before include "Director of newspaper" , "Newspaperman" , "Senior journalist" , "Times boss maybe" , "Press boss" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
