News chief from Buxted I torment (6)
I believe the answer is:
editor
'news chief' is the definition.
(chief on a newspaper)
'from buxted i torment' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'EDITOR' is hidden within 'buxted i torment'.
(Other definitions for editor that I've seen before include "Media boss" , "Newspaperman" , "One prepares a work for publication" , "cutter?" , "Person in charge of a publication" .)
