I tailored new item from a rag (9)
I believe the answer is:
editorial
'item from a rag' is the definition.
(rag can informally mean a newspaper)
'i tailored new' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'i'+'tailored'='itailored'
'itailored' is an anagram of 'EDITORIAL'.
(Other definitions for editorial that I've seen before include "Article written" , "Newspaper article - "I led a riot" (anag)" , "Newspaper opinion piece" , "leader, perhaps" , "bit of paper" .)
