Crossword Genius

Gathered new angle by journalist (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gleaned

'gathered' is the definition.
(gleaning is a kind of gathering)

'new angle by journalist' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'angle' is an anagram of 'glean'.
'glean'+'ed'='GLEANED'

(Other definitions for gleaned that I've seen before include "A legend (anag.)" , "Harvested, gathered" , "Found out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
