The French journalists in Yorkshire (5)

Ross

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" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
