Run through newspaper article about resistance (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pierce

'run through' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'newspaper article about resistance' is the wordplay.
'newspaper article' becomes 'piece' ('piece' can be a synonym of 'newspaper article').
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'resistance' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'piece' placed around 'r' is 'PIERCE'.

(Other definitions for pierce that I've seen before include "pink" , "Thrust" , "Not established as fact" , "Make hole in with something sharp" , "Perforate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
