Crossword Genius

Neglect lie-in being disturbed, seeing news (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intelligence

'news' is the definition.
('intelligence' can be a synonym of 'news')

'neglect lie-in being disturbed' is the wordplay.
'being disturbed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'neglect'+'lie'+'in'='neglectliein'
'neglectliein' is an anagram of 'INTELLIGENCE'.

'seeing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for intelligence that I've seen before include "Ken" , "Military information" , "Mental brightness" , "Secret information" , "army section?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
