Reporting man with anger (8)
I believe the answer is:
coverage
'reporting' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'man with anger' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'cove' (cove is old-fashioned slang for a man).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'anger' becomes 'rage' (rage is a kind of anger).
'cove'+'rage'='COVERAGE'
(Other definitions for coverage that I've seen before include "News reports" , "insurance" , "Media reporting" , "news attention" , "publicity" .)
