Urge fellows to become journalists (8)

I believe the answer is:

pressmen

'journalists' is the definition.
(pressman is a kind of journalist)

'urge fellows' is the wordplay.
'urge' becomes 'press' ('press' can be a synonym of 'urge').
'fellows' becomes 'men' (I've seen this before).
'press'+'men'='PRESSMEN'

'to become' is the link.

(Another definition for pressmen that I've seen is " Journalists".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Globe and Mail.
