Crossword Genius

Famous? Not the media boss (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

noted

'famous?' is the definition.
(noted can mean well-known or famous)

'not the media boss' is the wordplay.
'the media boss' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'not'+'ed'='NOTED'

(Other definitions for noted that I've seen before include "Scored" , "Like music" , "Observed - famous" , "Remarkable" , "Significant" .)

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