On screen newspaper article becomes hit (8)
I believe the answer is:
walloped
'becomes hit' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'on screen newspaper article' is the wordplay.
'on screen' becomes 'wall' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'newspaper article' becomes 'op-ed'.
'wall'+'oped'='WALLOPED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for walloped that I've seen before include "affected by strikes?" , "Hit hard" .)
