Leader of a press gang (6)
I believe the answer is:
editor
This could be a double definition.
'leader' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'press gang' 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?
'of a' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for editor that I've seen before include "Triode (anag.)" , "Times boss maybe" , "Script-preparer" , "Senior journalist" , "Newspaper or publication chief" .)
