Twin reviews news chief praised (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lauded

'praised' is the definition.
(lauding is a kind of praising)

'twin reviews news chief' is the wordplay.
'twin' becomes 'dual' (I've seen this in another clue).
'reviews' says the letters should be written backwards (I've seen 'review' mean this).
'news chief' becomes 'ed' (I've seen this in other clues).
'dual' backwards is 'laud'.
'laud'+'ed'='LAUDED'

(Other definitions for lauded that I've seen before include "Praised and extolled" , "Praised highly" , "Praised, glorified" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
