Think me and journalist are coming up (4)
I believe the answer is:
deem
'think' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'me and journalist are coming up' is the wordplay.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'are coming up' is a reversal indicator.
'me'+'ed'='meed'
'meed' in reverse letter order is 'DEEM'.
(Other definitions for deem that I've seen before include "Believe" , "Adjudge" , "Card-table felt" , "View as" , "Regard in a specific way" .)
