I believe the answer is:

storeyed

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

'multilayered news' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'article entertains european editor' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'story' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'entertains' indicates putting letters inside.
'european' becomes 'E' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'editor' becomes 'ed' (abbreviation).
'story' going around 'e' is 'storey'.
'storey'+'ed'='STOREYED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for storeyed that I've seen before include "(Of a building) having floors" , "Having sets of rooms on different levels" , "having several floors?" , "As type of building" , "(Of building) having several levels" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
