Mark, journalist, has 60s singer round (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cedilla

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'mark' is the definition.
(I know that cedilla is a type of diacritic)

'journalist has 60s singer round' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'journalist' could be 'ed' (short for editor) and 'ed' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'cilla' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cedilla that I've seen before include "Small mark placed below C in Portuguese and Catalan, for example" , "Mark under the letter C in French" , "I called (anag.)" , "Mark indicating a softened consonant" , "Mark, in foreign language" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
