Journalist, similar (13)
I believe the answer is:
correspondent
This clue is a double definition.
'journalist' is the first definition.
(correspondent is a kind of journalist)
'similar' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)
(Other definitions for correspondent that I've seen before include "Journalist; pen pal" , "Overseas journalist" , "Newspaper writer" , "Person sending letters or written reports - agreeing" , "Reporter on special subject or from overseas" .)
