Free help with great paper (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

telegraph

'paper' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'free help with great' is the wordplay.
'free' is an anagram indicator.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'help'+'great'='helpgreat'
'helpgreat' with letters rearranged gives 'TELEGRAPH'.

(Other definitions for telegraph that I've seen before include "A scoreboard" , "paper" , "Daily" , "Send message" , "Transmission (by wire on poles)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
