American article in the next edition (5)
I believe the answer is:
texan
'american' is the definition.
(Texan is an example)
'article in the next edition' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'article' could be 'an' (English indefinite article) and 'an' is located in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ex' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for texan that I've seen before include "Native of Dallas, say" , "One from south-west USA" , "Native of Houston, perhaps" , "like LBJ" , "Eg, native of Dallas" .)
