Nose perhaps for newspaper story (7)
I believe the answer is:
feature
I believe this is a double definition.
'nose perhaps' is the first definition.
(I know that nose is a type of skill)
'newspaper story' is the second definition.
(a newspaper feature)
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for feature that I've seen before include "Part of the face" , "Aspect; play a part" , "Principal film or non-news article" , "Newspaper article" , "Special attraction" .)
