Summary found in newspaper cutting (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apercu

'summary' is the definition.
(apercu is a kind of summary)

'in newspaper cutting' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'APERCU' is hidden within 'newspaper cutting'.

'found' is the link.

(Other definitions for apercu that I've seen before include "brief explanation" , "Witty remark" , "what's observed" , "Brief sketch, outline" , "insightful comment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
