Time to get up and do the press chief’s job (4)

I believe the answer is:

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

'do the press chief's job' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'time to get up' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 'tide' (suffix meaning time eg Yuletide).
'to get up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'tide' in reverse letter order is 'EDIT'.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for edit that I've seen before include "Manage a newspaper" , "Prep for press" , "Prepare text for publication" , "work on newspaper?" , "Check text for publication" .)
