Endorse account by journalist, to a point (6)
I believe the answer is:
accede
'endorse' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'account by journalist to a point' is the wordplay.
'account' becomes 'acc'.
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'to a point' becomes 'e' (compass point).
'acc'+'ed'+'e'='ACCEDE'
(Other definitions for accede that I've seen before include "Allow, give consent" , "Assume" , "Agree or enter into office" , "Assent, to a demand say" , "Say yes to request" .)
