Feature concerning terrible recital (7)
I believe the answer is:
article
'feature' is the definition.
(a newspaper feature)
'terrible recital' is the wordplay.
'terrible' indicates an anagram.
'recital' anagrammed gives 'ARTICLE'.
'concerning' is the link.
(Other definitions for article that I've seen before include "Rile cat (anag.)" , "what's to appear in the newspaper" , "Piece in paper" , "Object and newspaper story" , "It may be the" .)
