Crossword Genius

Journalist supporting race broadcast (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

relayed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'broadcast' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'journalist supporting race' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'journalist' could be 'ed' (short for editor) and 'ed' is located in the answer.
'race' could be 'relay' (relay race is a kind of race) and 'relay' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for relayed that I've seen before include "Passed along" , "Received and passed on" , "Layered (anag.)" , "Broadcast; passed on" , "Transmitted along" .)
