Crossword Genius

Extract from newspapers is Times' last (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

persist

'last' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'extract from newspapers is times'' is the wordplay.
'extract from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (I've seen this in other clues).
'PERSIST' is hidden within 'newspapers is times'.

(Other definitions for persist that I've seen before include "Continue to exist" , "Continue (in spite of difficulties)" , "Continue in spite of difficulty" , "Stripes (anag)" , "Show doggedness" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
