Piece from tabloid chaps inserted into broadsheet (8)
I believe the answer is:
fragment
'piece' is the definition.
(I know that fragment is a type of piece)
'tabloid chaps inserted into broadsheet' is the wordplay.
'tabloid' becomes 'rag' (informal term for a tabloid newspaper).
'chaps' becomes 'men' (chap means a man).
'inserted into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'broadsheet' becomes 'FT' (Financial Times, broadsheet newspaper).
'rag'+'men'='ragmen'
'ragmen' placed into 'ft' is 'FRAGMENT'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for fragment that I've seen before include "Come to pieces" , "Scrap" , "Particle" , "Broken-off piece" , "Small portion" .)
