Remark made by journalist to create an impact? (7)
I believe the answer is:
impress
'impact?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'remark made by journalist to create an' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'create' could be 'press' (pressing is a kind of creating) and 'press' is present in the answer.
'an' could be 'i' (Roman numeral for one) and 'i' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'm' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
(Other definitions for impress that I've seen before include "Have profound effect upon" , "Simpers so as to make mark" , "Make a mark on, emphasise" , "force to join navy?" , "Create an effect in the mind of" .)
