Mass communication to get round landlady (8,6)

I believe the answer is:

circular letter

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

'mass communication' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'get round landlady' is the wordplay.
'get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'round' becomes 'circular' (synonyms).
'landlady' becomes 'letter' (someone who lets).
'circular'+'letter' is 'CIRCULAR LETTER'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for circular letter that I've seen before include "Several people will be sent this" , "description of second-in-command" , "One may be copied to several people" , "communication to more than one person!" .)
