'what the pressman' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'about dockland area' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'dockland area' becomes 'port' (ports contain docks).
're'+'port'='REPORT'

'produces' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
