Job-sharing journalist butchered (7)

'butchered' is the definition.
(to joint meat is to cut it into joints)

'job-sharing journalist' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'sharing' could be 'joint' (similar in meaning) and 'joint' is found in the answer.
'journalist' could be 'ed' (short for editor) and 'ed' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
