The chap looking at the paper works in television (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

newsreader

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'paper works in television' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'the chap looking at the' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'chap' could be 'reade' and 'reade' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for newsreader that I've seen before include "Presenter of bulletin" , "TV employee" , "Bulletin broadcaster" , "TV current affairs presenter" .)
