It is seen in Daily Mail half-censored (8)
I believe the answer is:
charisma
'it' is the definition.
('it' can mean a special quality or charisma)
'is seen in daily mail half-censored' is the wordplay.
'seen in' indicates putting letters inside.
'daily' becomes 'char' (both can mean a cleaner).
'half-censored' means to take half the letters.
'mail' with half the letters taken is 'ma'.
'char'+'ma'='charma'
'is' going into 'charma' is 'CHARISMA'.
(Other definitions for charisma that I've seen before include "10 (anag)" , "Attraction" , "divine power" , "ability to impress" , "special personal quality" .)
