Feature of a newspaper chief with column (8)
I believe the answer is:
headline
'feature of a newspaper' is the definition.
'headline' can be an answer for 'feature' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'of a newspaper' bit.
'chief with column' is the wordplay.
'chief' becomes 'head' ('head' can be a synonym of 'chief'**).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'column' becomes 'line' (I've seen this before).
'head'+'line'='HEADLINE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for headline that I've seen before include "Caption on a newspaper article" , "Largest newspaper text" , "streamer, perhaps" , "Newspaper title" , "Top (a concert bill)" .)
