Star newspaper to read (4)

I believe the answer is:

icon

'star' is the definition.

'newspaper to read' is the wordplay.
'newspaper' becomes 'i' (UK newspaper).
'to read' becomes 'con' (I've seen this in other clues).
'i'+'con'='ICON'

(Other definitions for icon that I've seen before include "Very important person" , "Religious painting in Greek Orthodox Church" , "hero!" , "Something on computer screen" , "Sacred painting or representitive figure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
