Newspaper acknowledgement producing extremely bloody row (6)
I believe the answer is:
byline
'newspaper acknowledgement' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'extremely bloody row' is the wordplay.
'extremely' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (only the extremes of the word are used).
'row' becomes 'line' (as in a row of things).
'bloody' with its middle removed is 'by'.
'by'+'line'='BYLINE'
'producing' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for byline that I've seen before include "attribution" , "end of play" , "Credit for one reporting" , "Credit given author" .)
