Media boss offering some carrot I decide after reflection (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

editor

'media boss' is the definition.
(eg newspaper editor)

'some carrot i decide after reflection' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'after reflection' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'rotide' is hidden within 'carrot i decide'.
'rotide' backwards is 'EDITOR'.

'offering' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for editor that I've seen before include "Journalist - rioted (anag)" , "The person who determines the final content of the newspaper" , "Journalist in charge of publication" , "Person responsible for publication;" , "Cudlipp, for one" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
