Grizzly infant to stand with inexperienced reporter (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
bear cub
'grizzly infant' is the definition.
(young grizzly bear)
'stand with inexperienced reporter' is the wordplay.
'stand' becomes 'bear' (both can mean to tolerate or endure).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'inexperienced reporter' becomes 'cub' (I've seen this in other clues).
'bear'+'cub'='BEAR CUB'
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for bear cub that I've seen before include "Ursine baby" , "youngster?" , "Young carnivore" , "Paddington, perhaps" .)
