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

'a capital feature among six others here' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'new and funny no less opinion piece' is the wordplay.
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'funny' indicates an anagram.
'opinion piece' becomes 'column' (newspaper column).
'no'+'less'='noless'
'noless' anagrammed gives 'elsons'.
'n'+'elsons'+'column'='NELSONS COLUMN'

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
