Liberation for me, working with journalist (7)
I believe the answer is:
freedom
'liberation' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'for me working with journalist' is the wordplay.
'working' indicates anagramming the letters.
'with' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'for'+'me'='forme'
'forme' anagrammed gives 'freom'.
'freom' placed around 'ed' is 'FREEDOM'.
(Other definitions for freedom that I've seen before include "novel" , "Political militant" , "Liberation" , "Lack of restrictions" , "Independence" .)
