They report pot, aluminium, is found between beams (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

journalists

'they report' is the definition.
(journalists report things)

'pot aluminium is found between beams' is the wordplay.
'pot' becomes 'urn' (urn is a kind of pot).
'aluminium' becomes 'al' (Al is the chemical symbol for aluminium).
'is found between' indicates putting letters inside.
'beams' becomes 'joists' (supports within a building).
'urn'+'al'='urnal'
'urnal' put into 'joists' is 'JOURNALISTS'.

(Another definition for journalists that I've seen is " hacks?".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
