Little amphibian featured in English newspaper (3)
I believe the answer is:
eft
'little amphibian' is the definition.
(eft can mean a newt)
'english newspaper' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'newspaper' becomes 'ft' (Financial Times newspaper).
'e'+'ft'='EFT'
'featured in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for eft that I've seen before include "Kind of newt found in clefts" , "Juvenile newt" , "Young newt" , "Slimy creature" , "Juvenile twenty-three Ac; rhymes with sinister" .)
