Replied, having read news out (8)
I believe the answer is:
answered
'replied' is the definition.
('answer' can be a synonym of 'reply')
'read news out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'read'+'news'='readnews'
'readnews' anagrammed gives 'ANSWERED'.
'having' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for answered that I've seen before include "Rejoined" , "succeeded" , "Came back" , "Fulfilled" , "was sufficient" .)
