Post held inside newspaper cunningly, to hide rips (10)
I believe the answer is:
editorship
'post' is the definition.
(editorship is a kind of post)
'cunningly to hide rips' is the wordplay.
'cunningly' indicates an anagram (a cunning or tricky form of the letters).
'to'+'hide'+'rips'='tohiderips'
'tohiderips' is an anagram of 'EDITORSHIP'.
'held inside newspaper' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for editorship that I've seen before include "show status on paper" , "Top newspaper position" , "journal's head office" , "Newspaper head's role" , "Senior role" .)
