Outline content of newspaper cutbacks (6)
I believe the answer is:
apercu
'outline' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'content of newspaper cutbacks' is the wordplay.
'content of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'APERCU' is hidden in the letters of 'newspaper cutbacks'.
(Other definitions for apercu that I've seen before include "Glimpse" , "Illuminating comment, race up (anag.)" , "summary, insight; race up (anag.)" , "brief explanation" , "Witty remark" .)
