On paper, the person in charge (6)
I believe the answer is:
editor
This clue might be a double definition.
'on paper' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'person in charge' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for editor that I've seen before include "Person responsible for publication;" , "Or tied up my boss" , "Do tire out the press person" , "Do tie out the newspaper head" , "Person who revises and prepares for publication" .)
