Possibly news in troubled times (5)
I believe the answer is:
items
'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" .)
