News that makes sense (12)
I believe the answer is:
intelligence
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'news' is the first definition.
(I know that news can be written as intelligence)
'sense' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'that makes' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for intelligence that I've seen before include "army section?" , "Covert information" , "Spy reports" , "Mind; news" , "Covertly-gathered info" .)
