I believe the answer is:

phrased

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

'put right' is the definition.
'phrased' can be an answer for 'put' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'right' bit.

'pub when alongside news boss' is the wordplay.
'pub' becomes 'ph' (abbreviation for Public House).
'when' becomes 'ras' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'alongside' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'news boss' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'ph'+'ras'+'ed'='PHRASED'

'in' acts as a link.
