I believe the answer is:

tabloid

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

'the sun' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'one may be a bit loud and non-u' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is found within the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
'bit' could be 'o' (resembles 0, a binary digit or bit) and 'o' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
