___ Black, British-Canadian ex-newspaper publisher (6)

I believe the answer is:

conrad

(Other definitions for conrad that I've seen before include "Joseph --, writer (Lord Jim)" , "Joseph ...... wrote 'Lord Jim'" , "Joseph --, author" , "Author of Lord Jim" , "Joseph -, novelist (Heart of Darkness)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
