I believe the answer is:

article

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

I believe this is a quadruple definition!!

'piece' is the first definition.
(I know that article is a type of piece)

'of' acts as a link.

'writing' is the second definition.
(article is a kind of writing)

'in' acts as a link.

'newspaper' is the third definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'making us' acts as a link.

'object' is the fourth definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for article that I've seen before include "See 10" , "Thing - composition - item" , "'The', definitely" , "Newspaper item" , "Newspaper essay" .)
