False statements by Welshman in journals (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dailies

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

'journals' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'false statements by welshman' is the wordplay.
'false statements' becomes 'lies' (lie is a kind of false statement).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'welshman' becomes 'dai' (Welsh name).
'lies' after 'dai' is 'DAILIES'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dailies that I've seen before include "employed in cleaning?" , "Newspapers" , "Rags" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
