Press coverage suspended at ten for negotiation (9)
I believe the answer is:
mediation
'for negotiation' is the definition.
(mediation is a kind of negotiation)
'press coverage suspended at ten' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'press' could be 'media' (the press is part of the media) and 'media' is found within the answer.
'at' could be 'on' (location) and 'on' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ti' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mediation that I've seen before include "Arbitration" , "acting as go-between" , "Help for rocky marriage" , "Bringing together" , "Intervention aimed at reconciliation" .)
