The French journalists in Yorkshire (5)
I believe the answer is:
leeds
'in yorkshire' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'the french journalists' is the wordplay.
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'journalists' becomes 'eds'.
'le'+'eds'='LEEDS'
(Other definitions for leeds that I've seen before include "Yorks city" , "British city and premier division football club" , "Yorkshire city - Kent castle" , "English city" , "Industrial city of northern England" .)
