Patty or William (6)
I believe the answer is:
hearst
'patty or william' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for hearst that I've seen before include "News chief" , "Newspaper publisher" , "US newspaper magnate; haters (anag.)" , "William Randolph - - (tycoon)" , "Former publisher" .)
