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