Cut roughly (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

hack

hewn

(Other definitions for hack that I've seen before include "Cut - mediocre journalist" , "Chop; uninspired writer" , "Break into computer system" , "Writer of uninspiring stuff" , "Cut roughly - routine writer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sun.
