Relevance of reporter's exposé ... (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bearing

'relevance' is the definition.
(bearing is a kind of relevance)

'reporter's expose' is the wordplay.
'reporter's' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (report can mean to speak something aloud).
'expose' becomes 'baring' (baring or exposing something).
'baring' is a homophone of 'BEARING'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bearing that I've seen before include "Relevance, way of moving" , "Posture" , "Attitude - pivot - reference" , "Deportment" , "Carriage; suffering" .)
