Successful student saving place to study article or error-strewn paper? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grauniad

'error-strewn paper?' is the definition.
(humorous typo'd nickname for the Guardian)

'successful student saving place to study article' is the wordplay.
'successful student' becomes 'grad' (graduate).
'saving' is an insertion indicator.
'place to study' becomes 'uni' (university).
'article' becomes 'a' (the indefinite article in English).
'uni'+'a'='unia'
'grad' placed around 'unia' is 'GRAUNIAD'.

'or' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
