Newspaper feature could make it clear (7)
I believe the answer is:
article
'newspaper feature' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'make it clear' is the wordplay.
'make' indicates an anagram.
'it'+'clear'='itclear'
'itclear' is an anagram of 'ARTICLE'.
'could' is the link.
(Other definitions for article that I've seen before include "thing required" , "See 10" , "Particular object and newspaper report" , "Thing - composition - item" , "You might say one" .)
