News agency at Hay scrapping article for lack of interest (6)
I believe the answer is:
apathy
'lack of interest' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'news agency at hay scrapping article' is the wordplay.
'news agency' becomes 'AP'.
'scrapping' suggests deleting specific letters.
'article' becomes 'a' (the indefinite article in English).
'hay' with 'a' removed is 'hy'.
'ap'+'at'+'hy'='APATHY'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for apathy that I've seen before include "lack of involvement" , "Lack of interest in things in general" , "Complete lack of interest, indifference" , "State of listlessness or disinterest" , "Unconcern" .)
