Late item for the press (8)
I believe the answer is:
obituary
This clue could be a double definition.
'late item' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'press' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'for the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for obituary that I've seen before include "Short newspaper piece about deceased luminary" , "Death notice with biographical account" , "note of closure?" , "Account of a life after death" , "Brief newspaper account of prominent person after death" .)
