Thought of French journalist capturing space in print (6)
I believe the answer is:
deemed
'thought' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'of french journalist capturing space in print' is the wordplay.
'of french' becomes 'de' ('of' in French).
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'capturing' indicates putting letters inside.
'space in print' becomes 'me' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ed' enclosing 'me' is 'emed'.
'de'+'emed'='DEEMED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for deemed that I've seen before include "Considered, held the view" , "Viewed as, reckoned" , "Considered, held as opinion" , "Regarded, considered" , "Came to the view that" .)
