Enthusiasm, journalist for Independent conveyed (6,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

passed on

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

'conveyed' is the definition.
(passing on is a kind of conveying)

'enthusiasm journalist for independent' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'journalist' could be 'ed' (short for editor) and 'ed' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'passon' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for passed on that I've seen is " Handed over - died".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
