New indication of discomfort about news agency other than supposed (3,2,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

not as such

'other than supposed' is the definition.
(phrased used when someone has supposed wrong)

'new indication of discomfort about news agency' is the wordplay.
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'indication of discomfort' becomes 'ouch' (expression of pain).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'news agency' becomes 'tass' (I've seen this in other clues).
'ouch' placed around 'tass' is 'otassuch'.
'n'+'otassuch'='NOT AS SUCH'

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
