Fourth estate (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

press

'fourth estate' is the definition.
(term for the press)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for press that I've seen before include "Produce record" , "Jam" , "(Of time) be short" , "Apply steady force to (something)" , "Newspapers - cupboard" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
