Newspaper, at the end of the day, follows standard on equality of pay (6)
I believe the answer is:
parity
'equality of pay' is the definition.
'parity' can be an answer for 'equality' (parity is a kind of equality). I am not certain of the 'of pay' bit.
'newspaper at the end of the day follows standard' is the wordplay.
'newspaper' becomes 'i' (the i is a British newspaper).
'at the end of the day' becomes 'ty' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'follows' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'standard' becomes 'par' (standard of play in golf).
'i'+'ty'='ity'
'ity' put after 'par' is 'PARITY'.
'on' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for parity that I've seen before include "Egalitarian goal" , "state of equality" , "Correspondence" , "Equality in status" , "Equal status or pay" .)
