Journalist about to meet baggage carrier (8)
I believe the answer is:
reporter
'journalist' is the definition.
(eg a reporter for a newspaper)
'about to meet baggage carrier' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'to meet' says to put letters next to each other.
'baggage carrier' becomes 'porter' (I've seen this in another clue).
're'+'porter'='REPORTER'
(Other definitions for reporter that I've seen before include "Journo" , "News journalist" , "Newspaper correspondent, journalist" , "News gatherer" , "Newspaper worker" .)
