Feature of a newspaper chief with column (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

headline

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

'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)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
