Old journalists to give opinion? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

express

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

'give opinion?' is the definition.
'express' can be an answer for 'give' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'opinion?' bit.

'old journalists' is the wordplay.
'old' becomes 'ex' (prefix meaning former or onetime).
'journalists' becomes 'press' (the press can mean the newspaper industry).
'ex'+'press'='EXPRESS'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for express that I've seen before include "Squeeze out - quick" , "Rapid" , "Speak - fast" , "Convey; particular; train" , "Specific; going at speed" .)
