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

'transferring with a document' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'ring about english newspaperman' is the wordplay.
'ring' becomes 'ding' (dinging is a kind of ringing).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'newspaperman' becomes 'ed'.
'e'+'ed'='eed'
'ding' going around 'eed' is 'DEEDING'.
