Weasel word seen to cover it for journalist (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
news editor
'for journalist' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'weasel word seen to cover it' is the wordplay.
'weasel' indicates anagramming the letters (weasel can mean to be cunning or tricksy).
'to cover' is an insertion indicator.
'word'+'seen'='wordseen'
'wordseen' is an anagram of 'newsedor'.
'newsedor' enclosing 'it' is 'NEWS EDITOR'.
(Another definition for news editor that I've seen is " Journalist".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
