Self-introduction from journalist in sarcastic, seriously funny programme? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dramedy

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

'sarcastic seriously funny programme?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'self-introduction from journalist' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'journalist' could be 'ed' (short for editor) and 'ed' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for dramedy that I've seen is " Play with funny bits".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
