Lightning intelligence? (9)
I believe the answer is:
newsflash
'lightning intelligence?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'intelligence?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'intelligence?' could be 'news' ('news' can be a synonym of 'intelligence') and 'news' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'flash' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for newsflash that I've seen before include "Dramatic announcement" , "Brief report" , "Bulletin" .)
