Predicts time when reporters go round (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

presages

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

'predicts' is the definition.
('presage' can be a synonym of 'predict')

'time when reporters go round' is the wordplay.
'time when' becomes 'age' (age is a kind of time. I am not sure about the 'when' bit.**).
'reporters' becomes 'press' (I've seen this before).
'go round' indicates putting letters inside.
'age' going inside 'press' is 'PRESAGES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for presages that I've seen before include "Foreshadows, is advance sign of" , "Augurs, bodes" , "Foreshadows in press age" , "Forecasts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
