Newspaper published something spicy (6)
I believe the answer is:
ragout
'something spicy' is the definition.
(ragout is a spicy stew)
'newspaper published' is the wordplay.
'newspaper' becomes 'rag' (informal term for a newspaper).
'published' becomes 'out' (I've seen this in other clues).
'rag'+'out'='RAGOUT'
(Other definitions for ragout that I've seen before include "Richly seasoned stew" , "something spicy?" , "Stewed meat/veg dish" , "Well-seasoned stew of vegetables" , "Seasoned dish of stewed meat and vegetables" .)
