I believe the answer is:

unheralded

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

'unpublicised fund barely mentioned by tabloid' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'journalist' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'journalist' could be 'ed' (short for editor) and 'ed' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for unheralded that I've seen before include "Not previously announced" , "Not pre-announced" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
