Point raised about journalist for press etc (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

media

'press etc' is the definition.
(the press is part of the media)

'point raised about journalist' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 'aim' (I've seen this in another clue).
'raised' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (going up in a down clue).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'aim' written backwards gives 'mia'.
'mia' enclosing 'ed' is 'MEDIA'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for media that I've seen before include "the box etc" , "TV, radio, papers, etc" , "region near Caspian Sea" , "means for spreading news" , "Channels of mass communication" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
