Crossword Genius

University fellow and one journalist brought together (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unified

'brought together' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'university fellow and one journalist' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'uni' (I've seen this before).
'fellow' becomes 'f' (abbreviation - of a society etc.).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'uni'+'f'+'i'+'ed'='UNIFIED'

(Other definitions for unified that I've seen before include "Brought together as one" , "Made one" , "Joined together" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
