Upset a journalist not a jot narrow-minded (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

insular

'narrow-minded' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'upset a journalist not a jot' is the wordplay.
'upset' indicates anagramming the letters.
'not' suggests deleting specific letters.
'journalist' with 'jot' taken out is 'urnalis'.
'urnalis' is an anagram of 'INSULAR'.

(Other definitions for insular that I've seen before include "Circumscribed" , "cut off" , "Aloof - prejudiced" , "Narrowly restricted in outlook or scope" , "Man, for one, is so" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
