Journalist’s cardinal sin cancelling home visits (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

newsman

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

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for newsman that I've seen before include "Journalist" , "who sells rags" , "he reports" , "Press person" , "Reporter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
