Office item required from Times editor lacking content (6)
I believe the answer is:
eraser
'office item' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'times editor lacking content' is the wordplay.
'times' becomes 'eras' (era is a kind of time).
'lacking content' means to remove the middle letters (the content of the word is emptied out).
'editor' with its middle removed is 'er'.
'eras'+'er'='ERASER'
'required from' is the link.
(Other definitions for eraser that I've seen before include "A student's rubber, or the one who uses it" , "Implement to rub out" , "Rubber for removing marks" , "One removes writing" , "device for deleting things" .)
