Norman journal features historic province (5)

I believe the answer is:

anjou

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'historic province' is the definition.
'anjou' can be an answer for 'province' (I have seen 'Old province' mean 'anjou' so perhaps 'province' could also mean 'anjou'). I'm unsure of the 'historic' bit.

'norman journal features' is the wordplay.
'features' says the answer is hidden in the clue (I've seen 'featuring' mean this).
'ANJOU' can be found hidden inside 'norman journal'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for anjou that I've seen before include "Province formerly" , "Old French province" , "Former French province" , "Historic province of the Loire valley" , "Historical French province" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
