Rubbish articles in Telegraph and Times primarily (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tat

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

'rubbish articles' is the definition.
'tat' can be an answer for 'articles' (I have seen 'Tawdry articles' mean 'tat' so perhaps 'articles' could also mean 'tat'). I'm not sure about the 'rubbish' bit.

'telegraph and times primarily' is the wordplay.
'primarily' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letters of 'telegraph and times' is 'TAT'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tat that I've seen before include "Make lace; tasteless stuff" , "Make lace using a small shuttle" , "Shoddy stuff (colloq.)" , "Tawdry or shabby articles" , "What you get for tit" .)
