Sunday Times has articles about New Zealand with a verse (6)
I believe the answer is:
stanza
'a verse' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'sunday times has articles about new zealand' is the wordplay.
'sunday times' becomes 'ST' (short for Sunday Times).
'has' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'articles' becomes 'aa' (two instances of 'a', the indefinite article).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'new zealand' becomes 'nz'.
'aa' enclosing 'nz' is 'anza'.
'st'+'anza'='STANZA'
'with' is the link.
(Other definitions for stanza that I've seen before include "Lines of poetry forming a pattern" , "Lines often repeated" , "Lines forming a unit of verse" , "Poetic verse" , "A verse of poetry" .)
