Man responsible for standards in company, left with journalist right away (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
cole porter
'man responsible for standards' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'company left with journalist right away' is the wordplay.
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'left with' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'journalist' becomes 'reporter' (eg a reporter for a newspaper).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'away' is a deletion indicator.
'reporter' with 'r' removed is 'eporter'.
'co'+'l'+'eporter'='COLE PORTER'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cole porter that I've seen before include "Let's Do It songwriter" , "US man of note" , "Broadway composer" , "Man responsible for standards" .)
