Journalistic drudge (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hack

(Other definitions for hack that I've seen before include "persistent cough" , "get information illegally" , "Cut roughly; old horse" , "Chop at hired horse?" , "Cut - mediocre journalist" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
