His relations make the headlines (8)
I believe the answer is:
reporter
'his relations make the headlines' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
This is all the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reporter that I've seen before include "One gives us the news" , "One writing in newspaper" , "One may write a column" , "Newspaperman" , "Newspaper writer" .)
