Newspaper X (5)

I believe the answer is:

times

This clue is a double definition.

'newspaper' is the first definition.
(The Times is an example)

'x' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for times that I've seen before include "Paces" , "operator" , "Newspaper - X" , "Occasions; multiplied by" , "Periods, ages" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
