Crossword Genius

Something digital newspaper makes undesirable (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toerag

'undesirable' is the definition.

'something digital newspaper' is the wordplay.
'something digital' becomes 'toe' (toe is a type of digit).
'newspaper' becomes 'rag' (rag is a kind of newspaper).
'toe'+'rag'='TOERAG'

'makes' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for toerag that I've seen before include "Despicable chap" , "contemptible sort" , "despicable sort" , "Scamp" , "O, great! (anag) -- a worthless fellow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
