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

'possibly news' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'troubled times' is the wordplay.
'troubled' indicates an anagram.
'times' anagrammed gives 'ITEMS'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for items that I've seen before include "Separate articles, as on list" , "Individuals units" , "Things listed" , "Entries made by accountant" , "Articles or units on a list" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
