Imitative newspaper worker? (4-6)
I believe the answer is:
copy editor
'imitative newspaper worker?' is the definition.
'copy editor' can be an answer for 'worker?' (copy editor is a kind of worker). I am unsure of the 'imitative newspaper' bit.
'imitative newspaper worker?' is the wordplay.
'imitative' becomes 'copy' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'newspaper worker?' becomes 'editor' (I've seen this in another clue).
'copy'+'editor'='COPY EDITOR'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for copy editor that I've seen is " Newspaper checker".)
