Alarmist (11)

I believe the answer is:

scaremonger

'alarmist' is the definition.
(scaremonger is a kind of alarmist)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for scaremonger that I've seen before include "agitator" , "Spreader of frightening rumours" , "One spreading worrying rumours" , "Spreader of panic" , "Alarmist" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
