Journalist's note viewed as clichéd (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hackneyed

'cliched' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'journalist's note viewed' is the wordplay.
'journalist' becomes 'hack' (I've seen this in other clues).
'note' becomes 'n' (abbreviation).
'viewed' becomes 'eyed' (I've seen this before).
'hack'+'n'+'eyed'='HACKNEYED'

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for hackneyed that I've seen before include "stock" , "Stereotyped" , "pedestrian" , "Banal" , "using familiar phraseology?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
