Newspaperman given some credit, organisationally (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

editor

'newspaperman' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'some credit organisationally' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'EDITOR' is hidden in the letters of 'credit organisationally'.

'given' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for editor that I've seen before include "Person in charge of a publication" , "Person who revises and prepares for publication" , "Paper head" , "Press boss" , "one in charge of 10 [PRESS GANG] ?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
