Crossword Genius

Journalist finally in digs broadcast news (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tidings

'news' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'journalist finally in digs broadcast' is the wordplay.
'finally' says to take the final letters.
'broadcast' is an anagram indicator (letters scattered or cast around).
The last letter of 'journalist' is 't'.
'in'+'digs'='indigs'
'indigs' is an anagram of 'idings'.
't'+'idings'='TIDINGS'

(Other definitions for tidings that I've seen before include "News, information" , "Information about recent events" , "News (arch.)" , "News (obs.)" , "News, reports" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
