Row about press chief getting discount (9)
I believe the answer is:
reduction
'discount' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'row about press chief' is the wordplay.
'row' becomes 'ruction'.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'press chief' becomes 'ed' (I've seen this in other clues).
'ruction' placed around 'ed' is 'REDUCTION'.
'getting' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for reduction that I've seen before include "Lessening" , "Drop in price" , "thickened sauce?" , "from nine to five, for example" , "Decrease, diminution" .)
