'press covering' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'university uprising quiet journalist supported' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'university' could be 'ou' and 'ou' is found within the answer.
'quiet' could be 'sh' (both can be said to tell someone to be quiet) and 'sh' is located in the answer.
'journalist' could be 'ed' (short for editor) and 'ed' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
