'source of reports' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'journalists start to fight?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'journalists' could be 'press' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'press' is present in the answer.
'fight?' could be 'box' (boxing is a kind of fighting) and 'box' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'that' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for press box that I've seen before include "From here, one reports" , "Unit reserved for reporters at a sporting event" , "Enclosure for journalists at an event" , "Enclosure for reporters at a sporting event" , "The place from which sports reporters watch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
