Paper is edited to inform (7)
I believe the answer is:
apprise
'inform' is the definition.
(apprising is a kind of informing)
'paper is edited' is the wordplay.
'edited' indicates an anagram.
'paper'+'is'='paperis'
'paperis' anagrammed gives 'APPRISE'.
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for apprise that I've seen before include "Provide with information" , "Inform, make known to" , "Inform or tell" , "Inform, make aware of" , "Give notice" .)
