It's wrong Susan! In the paper! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tissue

'paper' is the definition.
(tissue paper is a kind of paper)

'it's wrong susan' is the wordplay.
'wrong' indicates an anagram.
'susan' becomes 'sue' (short for Susan).
'its' anagrammed gives 'tis'.
'tis'+'sue'='TISSUE'

'in the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tissue that I've seen before include "See 17" , "cell block?" , "Thin paper; concoction (of lies)" , "Maybe lies" , "Basic structural element of an animal or plant" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
