Crossword Genius

Last out of newspapers is Times (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

persist

'last out' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'of newspapers is times' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'PERSIST' is hidden within 'newspapers is times'.

(Other definitions for persist that I've seen before include "Continue in the face of resistance" , "Stripes (anag)" , "Continue firmly or obstinately" , "Refuse to stop" , "Continue to exist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
