He's getting the Editor's attention! (4)
I believe the answer is:
heed
'attention' is the definition.
(taking heed is paying attention)
'he's getting the editor's' is the wordplay.
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the editor' becomes 'ed' (abbreviation).
'he'+'ed'='HEED'
(Other definitions for heed that I've seen before include "Obey" , "Careful attention" , "Care, attention (paid)" , "Observe" , "Take note of" .)
