Crossword Genius

Look at title, not even in the newspaper (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gazette

'newspaper' is the definition.
(gazette is a kind of newspaper)

'look at title not even' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'gaze' (gaze is a kind of look).
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'not even' means one should take alternating letters (remove even-numbered letters).
The alternate letters of 'title' are 'tte'.
'gaze'+'tte'='GAZETTE'

'in the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for gazette that I've seen before include "Journal, newspaper" , "paper" , "Journal; publish mil. post" , "Official newspaper" , "Official publication" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
