Work on newspaper, revealing plot in court case (7)
I believe the answer is:
subedit
'work on newspaper' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'plot in court case' is the wordplay.
'plot' becomes 'bed' (a plot of land).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'court case' becomes 'suit' (I've seen this in another clue).
'bed' going within 'suit' is 'SUBEDIT'.
'revealing' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for subedit that I've seen before include "Check newspaper copy" , "daily duty?" , "Work for daily" , "Work on paper" , "Copyread" .)
