Determined to broadcast Hemingway, for example (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

earnest

'determined' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'broadcast hemingway for example' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (how the word might sound on the radio or TV).
'hemingway for example' becomes 'ernest' (Ernest Hemingway).
'ernest' is a homophone of 'EARNEST'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for earnest that I've seen before include "money involved in contract" , "Serious in intention" , "Serious, intent" , "businesslike" , "Grave" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
