Squeezed The Media into Medoc building (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

compressed

'squeezed' is the definition.
(compressing is a kind of squeezing)

'media into medoc building' is the wordplay.
'media' becomes 'press' (the press is part of the media).
'into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'building' indicates an anagram.
'medoc' anagrammed gives 'comed'.
'press' inserted within 'comed' is 'COMPRESSED'.

'the' is the link.

(Other definitions for compressed that I've seen before include "Flattened by pressure" , "Condensed or reduced in volume" , "abridged" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
